Hi there guys,
I thought some of you may be interested in fighting the increases in annual fishing licenses here in California by buying a standard residence lifetime fishing license. Here's the breakdown on ages at purchase time and cost (plus fishing package*) for 2003.
Ages 0 to 9- $300
Ages 10 to 39- $495
Ages 40 to 61- $445
Ages 61 and over- $300
1* $150 will be added to the figures above for the Enhancement Fishing Package.
Enhancement Fishing Package includes: two-rod, ocean fishing, striper stamp, salmon punch card and steelhead report card. NOW!!! That's Cheap.
I can't imagine this kind of deal lasting much longer, can you?
Lifetime hunting licenses are exactly the same as fishing. I suspect that restrctions on hunting will be more severe than fishing in the no-to-distnt-future so...... it might be smart to think about getting 'locked in' if there is such a thing.
I'm considering going ahead and buying a lifetime license as I'm staying put in southern cal.
You will want to surf the California DFG website to check what the add-on costs are for the inhancement endorsments will cost. Oh ya ..... more money yet.
Avaliable from the DFG's License and Revenue Branch in Sacramento. Call (916)227-2290 for additional info.
