DNR's Boat Fishing License or Potomac River License

[goinsfishin]

I kinda see it this way.....I fish the MD portion of the Chesapeake Bay, not VA, not the Potomac River. So I'll pay my money and continue to exercise my right to criticize decisions that I dislike made by DNR.

Kinda like voting.....if ya don't bother to go to the polls, dont expect me to listen to ya gripe, as far as I'm concerned you forfeited that right when ya didn't bother to vote.

As a tax-paying MD resident, I will always have the right to gripe about DNR's actions.

i opted to buy a MD license because I want DNR to have the money to better enforce their laws. Had they shut down C&R I would have purchased a Potomac River license and hope that they wouldnt have the money to enforce the laws

Don; I already purchashed my Md boat license as well as a fresh water one too. I didn't even think about the Potomac license as an option.

I will say this; I'm glad that people are thinking about whom they support. It doesn't matter to me which way they decide to fall. Just don't follow the guy in front of you blindly.

When we see each other on the water, it doesn't matter whether you have a MD sticker, Potomac sticker, belong to MSSA, CCA, RFA, or tidalfish; we are all brothers in the fabulous sport of fishing.

Be true to your convictions. See you all on the water soon. I'm going to "harass" a lot of fish this year. I hope everyone has a great (and safe) year. 5th (Marty)

I will second that Marty


I have already bought the boat sticker for Maryland. I will not begrudge them the few dollars it cost. However, I am extremely disappointed in the amount of politics that goes into the so called fisheries management. More politics and money influence than management in my opinion. I will still give the process a chance and will continue to support DNR with my license fee for the moment.

To insure my voice is herd I am, or will be joining the CCA MSSA and continuing to write my local representation. I have also taken on the task of informing/ educating anyone who will listen at local tackle stores of my opinions about current state of fisheries management in Maryland. The word is getting out quick, and for the most part I find a lot of people are aware of what is going on. Pandora’s Box has been opened.

I bought the Md license - after some real thought on it.
