I agree with Gringo Loco I live in SC and also retired and come up to fish with my son that lives in Ohio I pay the $40 to fish with him for 5 days. In SC you can get a 14 day nonresident license for $11.00 Annual nonresident for $35.00 it may not sound like a lot to some but if you are on a fix income it adds up. I think the prices are ok as is. look at the money thats comes from the out of state pay to fish on charters, food and lodging. If anyone should be angy it should be the ones who are making money off the out of staters.
