Hi all, I'm just posting here about OUR fishing licenses.
Having been postponed for approximately 8 weeks in Vic .Has anyone else contacted the vrf about extending all current fishing licenses, for that period.
These licences have been paid for in advance,and should be honoured in my view.
I have emailed them and there response at that time ( 2 weeks ago) was " Nnnooo??) So I'm wondering if anyone else thinks they should honour there license period.

No license fees do a lot to improve fishing in Victoria if it enables the stocking of more natives I am happy.

It's not that expensive here in Vic and they use it to stock fish etc. It's a small amount to what they do.
Go to NZ and their license is like $200 if I'm not mistaken.

Pretty good value if you have a seniors card, you don't need to have a licence, not the case in NSW so we are pretty lucky in Vic.
Cheers

I would much rather fisheries have the funds, they really do a lot to develop the fishing in Victoria.

Just like the people that want their AFL membership paid back. Its not big money mate,you will eventually make it all back with the fish you are going catch in the future. I think we all should wear it and not complain in my opinion.
