new to fishing

I changed from golf to fishing, i'm so new at it, I thought " wow you
need a really good swing to get over this lake." I live within 1 hour
of great lakes and rivers here in the San Jaquin Valley. If I like it,
I will obtain a fishing license. If I am caught, I'll tell them my
license blew away and went downstream. This is my first fish story, so
give me a break,

Cheaper to buy a license. $25 for fishing without the license in sight.
$700+ for fishing without a license. $32 gets you a license for the year,
$10 for a couple of days and there are 3 free fishing days a year. One jsut
happened on the 23rd.

Also... they can always check your story by your Social Security or Drivers
License number. At least they can in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Wisconsin too. It's far cheaper to just buy a license, and far more ethical
too!

In the past, I've had out of state guide clients say "I'm only fishing in
this state today, I don't need a license." I say then "I'll just refund
your money now because I'm not taking you out fishing without one!"

Don't know about Wi, but in Az a guide can be held accoutnable as an
accomplice if they knowingly assist a person in taking wildlife illegally.

The same applies here too. Which is another reason why I insist on
following the rules and regulations.

In some states, they keep your drivers license until you prove your story
about having
a fishing license.

Here in California they just give you a ticket. They do give a couple of
free fishing days a year, so you could try it out then. If you show up in
court with a license bought before the ticket, you can have the fine reduced
to $25 for non display of a license. This state requires you to visably
wear you license. If no license, lot of the judges will drop the charges if
you purchase a lifetime license. Price depends on age. Mine at 62 was
$300, sounds like you are in the $800 range. Fine is about the same.

In Az you are required to have your license in your immediate possession. I
do not know if they will dismiss fine if you show a prior dated license or
not.
