How many permits do we need to fish Patoka Lake this year?

If I were the guy in charge of issuing permits and I looked out on a lake filled with boats costing anywhere from $8000 to $80,000, I'd think people like that had money and could afford my permits. Being bothered by permit expenses is kind of like owning a top-of-the-line boat and pulling it into a dealership for service, then complaining because the guy charged you so much for the work. You had the target painted across your chest when you stepped through his door.

Yeah, thats the spirit.......because we work hard for a living and have a toy and a hobby we should just roll over and take it in the ##### at every turn and LIKE IT! I can't wait until next year to pay more for a fishing license, tags, ramp fees, gas, and everything that comes with fishing. I just can't wait.

Seriously, I don't think the issue here is that people have a problem paying, the problem is the significant increases from year to year whether it be fishing license, ramp fees, fuel costs and general day to day living. Show me tangible results of the increased costs? You can't. Why? Because the State is robbing Peter (you and me) to pay Paul...its that simple.
