Thread: Ok so who needs a license?

I would say that is up to each officers discretion. If you are pulling 4,6 or 8 cranks I would not want to be the one without a license

Not worth the risk , go get one . Was told that fishing without a license in ms. buy a resident was over $ 600 dollars . They will drop fine to less than $150 if you go buy one . Out of state ? No way !

I know a man and woman that went to the lake. He was fishing and had a license she didn't and she was there to just watch and get some sun. He asked her to go get him another reel and rod out of the car. When she got back where he was the Game Warden walked up and asked for their license. Guess what she got a ticket. So if I was even getting in a boat with fishing tackle onboard or on the bank with someone else fishing I would have my license. You do know that just fishing license is not as expensive as all game and fishing license. Like Eagle 1 said it's not worth the risk.

If you are on a boat with fishing gear then it is assumed that your intension is to fish, therefore you need a license. Not any gray area here as far as the MDWFPs is concerned.

On boat, have fishing gear with no liscence. You will get a ticket. As they said not worth the risk.

for ten bucks for the day or fifteen for three days for out of state folks i would for sure get a license.

Yep, was stopped and checked many years ago while skiing. Fishing gear was found on the boat. Cost one young lady $100 for fishing without a license. It was Bill's boat so he paid it.

If you think license cost allot...probably should rethink fishing...Revenue from the sales are used to help us all.
