BillM Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 i thought i read that the fine for failing to produce is higher that the one for fishing without a license. the system is so antiquated, they can tell if you have an outdoors card but tehy cannot tell if you have a valid license. They call into the Midhurst Office with your DOB and last name, ask me how I know, lol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hey Roy, if they're gonna post names after conviction, can you post their OFC handles too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 They call into the Midhurst Office with your DOB and last name, ask me how I know, lol.... perhaps that works if you bought the card and a 3 year licence at the same time. if you renew yearly, they don't always get that information. they're able to confirm that yes, you have a valid card but license, not always. ask me how I know... lol.

Jds63 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/ArticleDi....aspx?e=2445739 Several warnings were issued under the Liquor Licence Act for having open liquor on the ice. The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds ice hut owners that their huts must be removed from the lake by March 15, 2010. are you allowed to have alcohol in the hut but not out in the open ?

My plastic license was only one year, he could get the office to see if it had been renewed online. Is there actually a list? Cause if so, I might be famous.

Dara Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 are you allowed to have alcohol in the hut but not out in the open ? Only if it is your residence...meaning you are spending the night there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 ah ok. Here is a more realistic and relevant example "$4,500 In Fines For Illegal Lake Simcoe Herring And Perch A woman and two men from York Region were fined a total of $4,500 after pleading guilty to taking herring and an over-limit of perch from Lake Simcoe in addition to making false statements to a conservation officer. Nicola Pertosa and Saverio Zupo, both of Stouffville, and Angela Zupo, of Goodwood, were each fined $750 for taking herring during a closed season and $250 for having too many perch. They were also fined $500 for making a false statement to a conservation officer. Ah...good old true Canadian names those are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 The story with failure to produce your license is although you may have an outdoors card that is good for 3 years, the only information in the system is the license for the first year, the renewal years don't show up on the system. It is stupid, antiquated and just plain dumb!! All the money that we pour into the MNR and they can't keep track of who is licensed and who is not. Have your license on you or in your tackle box and don't run afoul of the CO's and the police out there, if you don't break any laws, hey, guess what, you won't have any problems. GO FIGURE!!!

oxcowboy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 i say take out the old vigilante justice system, cant prove it, pay the price, what ever the locals see fit. there is zero excuse for not having a fishing permit. i head your all's way every year and dang certain i know all the limits and restrictions before i get there as well as any liscence that is required. Better yet pay the co's a portion of what they collect, no innocent person would be fined? As well as paying for their services and the govt getting their share. jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirfish Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Wow ,I would say they got off real easy. It must have been thier first offence. They are supposed to be fined "per fish over the limit", all equipment confiscated ,and that would include a sled or ATV if they had one with them and if they were real pricks ..the vehicle that transported them there if they had placed them in it...They were in a good mood that day even though they were lied too.
