pequa11 Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 (edited) be on the lookout for a DEC survey about this. I just filled mine out (takes five minutes) and submitted. Got it from another site, not from DEC itself. Edited September 24 by TimS commercial site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gellfex Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Care to flesh out what the hell you're talking about? Are they considering making it a paid license rather than a free 'registration'? in my personal experience FL, AK & WA have salt licenses, I'm sure there's others.

CWitek Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 New York is seeking angler input on a paid recreational fishing license. The survey includes questions such as how anglers would like to see the license money used, what the maximum fee they would be willing to pay might be, and what conditions they would place on the license (e.g., support unconditionally, support with conditions, do not support). Those who do not support a license are asked why. The questionnaire can be accessed through the attached card, which is going to be distrubuted to tackle shops, marinas, etc. The QR code didn't transfer, but I think that the link will get folks to the survey site.

Currently, 23 of the 26 U.S. coastal states have a fee-based saltwater license. New York is exploring the potential for a similar license to provide revenue to enhance recreational saltwater fishing and management. Results of this brief and anonymous survey will help gauge interest in such a license and provide information on how the revenue could be used. The survey can be completed in a few minutes electronically with this link: https://arcg.is/0y5Ca1 Or scan the QR code to the right. Thank you for your feedback!

giant basshole Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Haha , why do I have absolutely no faith that a penny of the money would go to protecting the resource. I guess they are out of red light camera locations. DoOver and 8 & Bait 1 1 BLM - Bass Lives Matter Race - human like everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gellfex Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Great . No doubt NJ will follow, so anglers in the NYC/LI region that fish all over the area from CT to NJ will have to get at least 1 'out of state' license to fish, presuming they greedily don't create reciprocity, same as fresh. Watch out which side of the imaginary line you're on, all you NJ boaters who fish RB in spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popasilov Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I would be all for it if I know that at least 50% money would go where it should. And if DEC would empose heavy fines for people without fishing license. But, that would be a day. sytheteacher, Suebert2, HYB_Living and 1 other 3 1 Bad day fishing is still much better than good day work.

pequa11 Posted August 26 Author Report Share Posted August 26 (edited) Regardless, everyone should do this (survey.) (Although I do not believe if you say "no" or "hell no" that it will make any difference. ) I did hear if you are over a certain age its free, which could impact how old fogies (like Me) fill it out. and thanks to Mr Witek for giving a link which I was unable to do.

cheech Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I’ll throw them a few bucks if necessary, the $10 license from years ago was quite reasonable. I’ve paid $29/yr. forever for the FW license, but it actually dropped to $25 a few years ago. If it comes to be, I bet NY will require an age of 70 for the freebie, other states are 65. Tis better to remain silent and thought the fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowEnd Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 (edited) We have been down this road already. When NYS implemented the salt water fee, I payed for the lifetime from the word go. Out East fought it sighting “colonial rights” and the whole thing was rescinded. NYS actually sent me a full refund despite it was ineffect for a season. Despite the fact that fishing for saltwater fish has been free of a “tax” my entire life, if there was a good plan that put the money into fixing all the issues, I’m in!

pequa11 Posted August 26 Author Report Share Posted August 26 My guess is 70 as well, which is when I bought my lifetime for hunting and fishing. I started out hunting late, in my 50s, and it never made sense to go for the lifetime back then, especially since I had returned to the "briny" and hardly freshwater fished anymore.
