jharcnc Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 ok...I have checked out the regulations, and I think I know the answer, but I want to just confirm here as well... According to the regs, while fishing on G-bay from a boat, it appears you are allowed max 2 lines per boat. So, if I go fishing this weekend with the bro-in-law, we can each have one line out for a max of 2. NOT up to 2 lines, EACH. Correct? Thanks in advance...

AzuluSpookd Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 ??????? There's no line limit per boat. 1 line per angler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharcnc Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 thanks...this is the language they use verbatim: "Two lines may be used when trolling from a boat in open water." being real green at this, I wanted to ask to make sure I was in compliance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Lake Huron (Main Basin), excluding South Bay on Manitoulin Island, Georgian Bay (zone 14), the North Channel (zone 14) and tributaries to Lake Huron in zones 10, 15, and 16. Two lines may be used when trolling from a boat in open water I see that as i line per person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 That wording is a bit confusing fer sure but....its one line per person, unless it has changed? Its been one line per person for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharcnc Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 great thanks! that's all I wanted to know...although what happens if I fish two lines myself? hmmm....according to the regs that is up for debate....;-) either way, it will be him and I this weekend and we'll keep it to two lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 strange when I read it, it seemed strait forward Lake Huron (Main Basin), excluding......excluding Georgian Bay (zone 14) Two lines may be used when trolling from a boat in open water so I read it as Lake Huron (Main Basin) Two lines may be used when trolling from a boat in open water. excluding Georgian Bay (zone 14) meaning not included zone 14 I don't think they would exclude you from getting a two line ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharcnc Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 so what happens if there are 3 of us? 1 line each? or only up to 2 (max per boat)? what if I'm fishing by myself? 1 line or 2 (per boat)? it is a little unclear, to be sure, but I'll play it safe and run only 1 each... thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I know it sucks, I wish it was 2 lines on gbay, specially for trolling musky considering most guys release them all anyway but it is definitely only one per angler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 as someone already wrote it's one line per person not per boat, so if you have ten guys you can have 10 lines out if you are in a boat on Lake Huron, you ca have 2 lines out each from shore 1 line each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Not picking on you but...read it again. Boats don't fish..people do. Doesn't matter if you're fishing from a tire tube, surf board, your boat, the Quenn Mary, it's fishing line(s) per person, not per boat. Like Terry said, about Tobermory, directly north and west is allowed 2 lines, the rest of GB, one line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 thanks....1 line per angler....up to a MAX of 2 PER BOAT, is the way I will interpret it...so if there are 3 or 4 of us, friends #3 and #4 are watching..... Man your just getting annoying now, people have already informed you from personal experiance that it is one line each no matter if you have 20 guys in a 12 foot tinny. I know first hand because I've fished it my whole life and talked to a number of CO's about the whole one line per angler deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharcnc Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 feel free to pick away...my ignorance and confusion is directly correlated to my shocking lack of general fishing knowledge...it is clear(er) now...that the general Ontario regs allow for 1 line per angler...the exception (and I'm sure there are many others) being Huron where you can fish with two out, each thanks for your patience! me not so smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 GBay - 1 line per person, no boat max Huron - 2 lines per person no boat max. It's straightforward enough.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I understand now why things need to be super simple in fishing regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Yes Roy. What about stinger lines/hooks. Its rods per angler not lines per angler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Yes Roy. What about stinger lines/hooks. Its rods per angler not lines per angler. You should know the answer to that...How many hooks allowed per line? What if it's an artificial with trebles, how do they count? Lets not invent scenarios.
