He was pleased that seniors and children would not have to psy, but thought $5 waa the moat the licen- ces should cost. Barring that he auggested there ahould ha two fee achedules: one for the big boat ownera with ail the expensive equipment, and another for the fisherman who juat had his rod and reel. Anthony Duncan, a Whitby resident who at 19 would have to pay for a licence, la in favor if the ministry does what they aay they will do, but his fishing buddy waan't 80 etqthusiastic. "I don't think it's a good idea," Rob Nelson, 14, said. "When I'm 18, MIh have to buy one and they may cost more by then ... 1 don't think it'a fair we should have to pay. The water and the fish belong to everybody. Buying a licence is Mie going to a fish market and buying fish. " "I've talked to a bunch of guya at the legion," Carnwith said. "Nobody seema down on the licen- ce, if the money goes back. " With a few reservationa it looks as though moat Whitby fishermen are hahind the licence.
