I just picked up my lobster report card for $7.90 and was surprised to find out that it is only good for 3 months! You have to buy another for $7.90 after Jan 1. That comes to $16 bucks (plus fishing license) this season to participate in the new and improved lobster regulations. Knowing that the season starts in Oct it would have been more fair to prorate it or at least only charge 1/2 for the first year. Its not the the few bucks extra that gets me as much as the principle. I would certainly be in a more supportive and cooperative mood if I didn't feel like some policy-making ass in the DFG was delibrately scamming all of us. Just my 2 cents worth.
