To fish fresh & salt water, two rods at once in fresh, and to catch Striped Bass equals $46.<br><br>I pay them to close down the ocean so they can do anything other than police the ocean, which is their duty.<br><br>I give up on figuring out the "New" rock cod regs. Every year it's some new complicated rule. The overall "Message" from the DFG, stop fishing.<br><br>Guys that want to give it aq try on a half day boat here in California must pay $7.50 for a one day license (TAX!)<br><br>That's quite a bite from a $25. fare. Say, 30%? Sort of a surcharge to further dissuade the adventerous.<br><br>And the REALLY "Cool" part is that these monies are given to the Calif. General Fund to be pissed away by Gov Gray Davis and the Totally Democratic Assemby and House. <br><br>Trying to get along or compromise with these...(Insert your favorite cuss word here) bureaucrats. Fire 'um all. Make 'um get real jobs for once in their lives. The Calif. DFG is INFESTED with Biology majors who can't find "Jobs" anywhere else. <br><br>They could care less about hunting or fishing. They just want to study stuff. Read books and have meetings. Have coffee breaks and lunch. Get their retirements. Do as little work as possible.<br><br>Lazy, good for nothing bureaucrats. I HATE them!! Do you?<br><br>
