Free fishing weekend

[tracksoup]

Noticed it's coming up again. Just curious on others thoughts of this. Not sure I'm a fan. I realize it's only 2 days but, what is the gain? Our youth are already free, which I totally agree with. Thoughts?

Taking people that don't fish to try it, or like me can't justify buying a license because you just don't have time to go.

I always figured they are just trying to get new people into it.  I don't mind it.

It's great. It means I can take my kids fishing and I can fish too. Any other time I just have to watch them fish.

I think it helps to sell licenses. A guy goes one weekend, enjoys himself, and wants to go again, and buys a license. Or a woman, don't mean to sexist.

One weekend to avoid. As there seems to be an additional surplus of unethical idiots out there

It will likely be the only time I fish with my daughter this year  . Between graduating, a job, and heading to college in the fall it is not worth the expense of a license for her, but you bet we will be on the water somewhere  .
