Exactly Joey, been there and seen it That's kind of what I was referring to with the "others" Could you see a CO try to lay charges to someone in that crew?

First off I'm a magnet when it comes to your CO's while visiting so I take extra precautions to make sure I comply and play by the rules. More times than not I have been stopped and checked, never been issued a ticket for fishing infractions or safety equipment issues. I think the main reason I get check is my boat registration numbers, a dead give away that I am a non-resident. In keeping with Terry and Chris's post on MNR's and not wanting to high jack there threads, I've often wondered what a CO would do in this case. Here's the scenario Eight people in our group, four father son combo's on a secluded drive in camp in NWO. Only camp on the lake with multiple cabins and multiple parties. The four dads at the beginning of the week split up the chores, cook, wash dishes, clean cabin & gas boats and clean fish. I was the fish cleaner and fryer for the week. After a afternoon of fishing I found myself in the cleaning hut with three limits (12 legal walleyes) by myself while others were in the cabin. While cleaning the fish a truck pulls into camp right up to the main office which was about 75 yards away and what I assumed was two CO's got out and went into the office. I kind of freaked for a minute because like I said I was by myself. So I quit what I was doing and went in the other direction to our cabin and requested two of the other dads grab their license's and come with me to the cleaning hut. About ten minutes go by and sure enough both CO's approached the cleaning hut to check us out. Everything was in order with our creel and they asked about anyone else in our group and the dads took the CO's to our cabin where they checked on two others in our group to make sure about their licenses. We had three young men that weren't of age yet so we were good to go on the licenses. Other than small talk that was about it and they left to walk around the rest of the camp only to find four Ontario residents drinking beer and playing horseshoes, don't really know what they discussed. CO's were polite and away they went. Now here's what I have always wondered, What if I wouldn't have grabbed two other licensed fisherman and had them with me in the cleaning hut? I know what the rules say "In possession" Been in this situation many times myself on many trips and seen others in the same situation. I can see where a CO may have a problem with one guy in a group cleaning multiple limits.

Roy I'm glad we can see eye to eye on this subject

Just poking ya with a stick Dave, hat's off to you for making the drive. That's a long haul and the landscape changes drastically from point A to B Enjoy your time south and don't forget the sunscreen.

Good for you to escape the cold.... I thought I get a little carried away driving places but your nut

Congrats Mr. Parker Well done

WOW looks like a great turn out! Good on everyone for participating

Maureen good to see you get some help I hope all is well

Happy Birthday to Jen!

Congrats to the Canadian men's team that earned the gold. Price was outstanding

Don't really understand those of you that bash the USA. Up until today they played some really good hockey. That's ok I will still root for the Canadians tomorrow.

Congrats Mike

Kind of funny I rarely ever win anything, although I did win something from OOD a few years back. I'm good Mike Good luck to those who enter

Well rule #9 rules me out

Paul it may depend on where it was made. For you and your area it's a must have. We bought a bucket truck here awhile back that came from out west and it didn't have one, needless to say the company had to get one installed

Nice fishes Thanks for sharing

Very nice, looks like I need to give you guys my username. Thanks for sharing

Pretty neat deal. I know this was condensed but these guys seemed to be behind the eight ball most of the time to make it to their destination. I would love to do something similar only not as long distance with a lot more rec time.

I can only speak about the Honda. A camp I attend every May has the Honda four stroke 15 Hp with electric start and they are awesome. Pretty much bullet proof. One could only guess a camp boat probably gets abused throughout the season and these motors run great.

Awesome work and craftmanship Art!

Yeah and he probably doesn't drink Pepsi anymore

Ah the voice of reason

Amazing work Chris! Happy New Years to you also

Good things happen to good people! Congrats you two

Jen is an amazing person. I wish nothing but the best for her and the rest of the family.
