N.Y. saltwater fishing license fees will be eliminated for good under 2013 state budget deal
Someone finally got smart.
Wayne Rambo, president of the East End Surf Fishing Club, said Tuesday the purpose of the fee was never clear to some local fishermen.
"We often wondered what they were trying to accomplish with the license fee," Rambo said. "Did they want more money or did they just want a registry of fishermen? If they were going to take the money and use it to actively patrol the beaches and make sure people are fishing with a license that would be one thing, but they never do enforce it."
