LOL it's not for me, I have in laws in from out of state, fresh water out of state is $5 PER Day, saltwater is $17.50 PER Day. I plan on only fishing Prien, therefore, did want to have to spend the extra $17.50 if I did not have too. Just found out fresh water is good to LNG.

So you cant keep a red if you catch it above the line and don't have saltwater license???

[Ray]

You can keep a Red anywhere inside 3 miles from offshore.
Inland, state waters only.

After Rita, Bass fishermen were catching Reds where they were never found before.
Pushed them all over the fresh water marshes.

Sure.........If you don't get caught
Just joking, but I bet it would have to have a SW license to put it in the boat weather youre above the line or not. It's all in the G.W.!!!!
