Settle and arguement for me please!

[Get_Outside]

Can I get you guys to help us settle and arguement here at work this morning. When you take a kid out fishing with you do the fish he/she catches count against your limit or do they get their own limit. :confused:

as long as they catch the fish it is their limit

[Get_Outside]

Thats one vote for my position on this!

You each get your own limit.

[ice fishin nut]

He gets his, you get yours!!!!!! Although I heard that in Canada it counts on yours.....

[Get_Outside]

Another difference to keep track of!

This is true. Although my 10 year old son is not required to have a license to fish Canadian waters, I buy him one so he can catch his own limit. Otherwise, his fish count on my limit. Also, I agree in Michigan he can catch his own limit and does not require a license (under 16 I believe but don't quote me on the age part). :)

In Canada your kids catch counts as yours. We asked a CO last year while fishing.

I might be talking out my seat, but common sense tells me just because a kid doesnt have to have a license, doesnt mean he or she cant take a limit of fish. I would say, it is not part of your limit, they have their own limit!!! :confused:

Peace

I never asked an MNR officer but I assumed by me buying my son his own license, he could catch his own limit. Please let me know if this is not true but I can't imagine why that would not be legal.

Get the kids out there fishing, I think that is what it is there for. . .I think the DNR has it set up that if the kid wants to pay a $2.00 fee, they can. . . another great idea from the DNR. :lol:

One thing I was wondering and can't find on the DNR website. . . .can you help a small child reel in a fish? I would guess yes, but can't find it on the site.

Found this on the Ontario MDR web site in a "Take a kid fishing" brochure:

In Ontario, children below the age of 18 can
fish without a licence and take home a full limit of fish
if they wish. Adults between 18 and 64 are required to
have a licence.

Also have emaile the Michigan DNR to get a clarification on the law in Michigan.

The worst thing I can think of is to get some kind of ticket for over limit while teaching my sons the joy of fishing.

Geez, that expensive license for my son was money well spent! :banghead3

Gone Fishing, you didn't waste your money. The quote that Get_Outside pasted only applies to Ontario residents. Here's the quote for non-residents:

Non-residents under 18 years of age may fish without a licence
if accompanied by an adult who has a recreational fishing
licence. Any fish caught are part of the catch and possession
limit of the adult who holds the licence. As another option, nonresidents
under 18 years may purchase a licence and any fish
caught apply to the catch and possession limits of that licence.

Holy loose your boat over a fish Batman!

Am I ever glad you found that!! :dizzy:

[Gone Fishing]

Thanks Homer, I feel better now! :)

YEah, each person in the boat that has a canadian liscene in the boat= 1 limit. So, if you have 2 liscene's in the boat, say the lmit is 4 fish, you can keep only 8 fish no matter how many people are in the boat.
