everybody in boat need fishing license?

[fishhard]

My daughter's friend wants to come out in the boat while we go fishing for salmon. She wants no part in fishing at all just wants to come out to hang out. I would think she needs a license if on boat even if not fishing? thanks

Negative. But she cannot fish in any way shape or form. If u have a derby ticket however, you will be disqualified.

no license required if not fishing....

 

but if your in the GOSD derby - the derby responsible for keeping more new anglers off the water during the derby days - you will not be eligible to weigh in a fish unless everyone on board has a derby ticket.

I had to argue with them, because my wife was in the boat without a license and I had 6 rods out fishing bass

she was not fishing

he said the equipment was there to use , so she could be charged

 

I said she was going to charge him with attempted rape

after all he has the equipment.........he did not see the humor

 

but he insisted I could only have one rod out per license ....

 

no charges..of course

 

some of them don't know their own laws

wow thanks for fast replies!

She is scared to touch rod after seeing some of the salmon pics!

If she is under 18 it does not matter, doesn't need one.

No, she doesnt need anything but a PFD to go for a boat ride.

As long as she does not touch a lure, fishing rod or anything related to fishing within eyesore of a CO, she cannot be charged and you will be fine.

My wife seldom fishes but likes coming along if water conditions suit her. So as to not have any arguments I just go out and get her a Conservation license. Then I can run 4 rods on Erie!!! Mine, all mine.
