Sorry, no excuse
Sorry if this comes up twice. I tried to go back to fix a typo on my original post and sent the whole thing into the ozone.
Ohio (my residence) sells fishing licenses for only $19.00; $10 for people over 65. How about teaching the kid about good citizenship through example.
A lot of folks fish illegally here, playing the odds of not getting caught. Not only do they fish without a license, they fish with more poles than allowed, saying they're "watching" the other pole or poles for someone, take more than the limit, etc. The sales of fishing and hunting licenses are this state's primary source of funding for maintenance and upgrades of state parks relative to fishing and hunting, stocking of fish and gamebirds, and payroll for the wildlife officers.
This guy needs to step up and set an example by buying a license. - Roberta
