Help Fishing Boat License

[Proline Fisher]

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has been discussed before but is there any benefit to buying the Maryland Consolidated Chesapeake Bay & Coastal Sport Boat License instead of the Potomac River Fisheries Commission boat license. The one from DNR cost's $50 and the PRFC cost's $40. The only real difference I can see is the one from DNR lets you crab, what else am I missing. Thanks for your help.

Only difference is the cost (as far as I know). The PRFC is recognized in both MD and Vir. I know some have wanted to make a "statement" and not support MD DNR. I bought my MD stickers today because I needed to get them fast. I'm headed out fishing tomorrow on an unexpected trip. I will be back in time for the CBA meeting at Howards.

Others will chime in so you can make a decission.

Only down side I could imagine would be DNR having to get on your boat to check your license since few see the Potomac sticker around here.

Thanks for your input, I just finished filling out the PRFC license form and will mail this week.
