Reading your post. I'm getting ready to spend 600.00. I have to purchase different license for different states we lay our heads. I may cut out the trout stamps and save money. We go to a place called Poconos. My wife family stock and mate them. You pay per fish. the fubby thing is you catch them on their eggs. So the owners net them and squeeze the eggs out. Place them in a cup and sell them. I let the cat out the bag and started telling kids. When you catch them place the eggs in your cup. It's the same bait. It's awful having kids' parents pay for more bait.
I was in Jersey this week. A NJ Tropper. Showed me three ponds off the turnpike, deep in the woods. Where they sleep on night shift. Gave me his Gold card to use if questioned. I didn't need it but he has been one of my guys last 8 years and on a board. that he hates.
So let me fill these forms out for my license. Then you and I JG are going to have a contest this year. Get your pratice in. See Attached Pic.
