I just think is to high. I can see giving a break in price
to residence of the state but I don't think the state should charge
double

The idea is to make up for some of the tax money you pay and they don't.
You
are buying tackle and gas there all year - non residents only while

Visitors pay a lot more into the state coffers vs. getting services. Is a
good way to increase revenues without upsetting voters. Same reason that
Houston added a tax (14% I think) to rental cars to pay for the new Houston
stadium.
