Anglers Won t Bite At License

(Continued) enforce the licensing program. Rodia said The reports which would be based on "unreliable" angler recall at best would be filed yearly. Paperwork from the reports would reach 1.6 miles high or fill five box cars. Rodia said An avid sportsman. Rodia secs the license issue as just another attempt to create a more immanageably bureaucracy. "If they're successful in licensing the mass of salt fishermen where are they going next?" "There was a time when they weren’t going to bother the salt fisherman either." he added. The government already benefits from tax revenue generated by sports and commercial fishing. Rodia said ‘‘They’re reaping all the benefits and suddenly they want us to pay again." he said. Revenues generated by a marine fuel tax currently go into a general state fund. Since there is an overlapping use of marine resources. money for marine management and research should be allocated from the general fund. Rodia suggested. Very little of the envisioned capital raised from a saltwater license would actually benefit the fishernjen in direct new services. Rodia said. An estimated 50(60 percent of the funds would go into^ administration, another 20 percent for enforcement, leaving about 20 percent for research and development of new recreational .facilities, Rodia said. Saltwater fishing licenses or a combination of salt and fl^shwater licenses are ineffect in several states including California. Alabama. Arkansas, Oregon and Washington “After 31 years in California, licensing is the worst ever.” Rodia said. Fishermen who support the proposal usually do so for very selfish motives, Rodia said. Their advocacy is often a form of elitism, an attempt to preserve their fishing grounds for themselves, he added With the state legislators and local governments solidly behind them, Rodia and the Jersey Cape Sportsmen's Association based in North Cape May plan to press on in their fight against licensing. The , Sportsmen’s Ferry Decreases Runs CAPE MAY * Because of the energy crisis and a drop in traffic volume, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry will return to its previous summer schedule starting Friday, July 13, and continuing through September 3. The schedule from Cape May, New Jersey is: 7 a m., 9 a.m., 10:20 a m., 11:20a.m., 12:20 p.m., 1:40 p.m., 2:40 p.m., 9:40 p.m., 5 p.m.,7p.m. The schedule from Lewes, Delaware is: 8:40 a.m., 10:40 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:20 p.m., 4:20 p.m., 5:20 p.m., 6:40 p.m., 8:40p.m.. Additional departures will be added as needed during the summer

Association, with about 1,000 members were instrumental in getting the two resolutions opposing the license proposal passed in the two state houses The County Freeholders and eight towns have passed similar measures at the group's urging. Rodia has been stumping for the cause in New Jersey. Delaware. Maryland and Penn sylvania. And. the association has circulated the "No saltwater license" bumperstitkers seen mushrooming in the area

over the past few months. The group has discussed the need for an office and moving into a regionalnational thrust, possibly creating lobbying information groups at the federal level. Rodia said. "I dor\'t see any end The more exposure this issue gets the easier it gets < for its opponents) because the ridiculousness of the thing becomes apparent." Rodia said "The American public is getting used to regulation and regimentation. This is a frightening thing to me."
