    Default seperated catch requirement


    Can anyone explain this to me? Why can't we simply keep track of our individual count and can not share one livewell. Why are fishing boat manufacturers able to install more fishing seats than they have livewell spaces?

    Per MDC Guidlines:
    "The possession limit is twice the statewide daily limit. Fish you take and possess must be kept separate or distinctly identifiable from fish taken by another person. If you are away from your catch, the device holding the fish must be plainly labeled with your full name and address."

    Because one person could catch all the fish so he would be over the limit and the other person would be Joedog!

    You can share livewells as long as you can mark the fish in a way they can be identified as to who caught them. Some clip fins, some use a stringer in the livewell and even better a simple hole punch and punch a hole in a fin as identification.

    When I moved here I had to get used to some odd to me rules also. Who knows what side of the live well is who's? And how about if you take a kid fishing it's who set the hook not who reels it in. I wonder if you use a net who actually caught the fish??? And if I take my boat to my brothers lake house and fish with him I can't clean my fish there and take them with me back to the boat ramp.

    Easy joedog’s is the side that’s empty.

    Not really sure what you’re saying?

    You can take your boat to his house and clean them but make sure they are properly marked where caught, date and conservation number but you can’t catch two limits in the same day. Not sure I’d want any cleaned fish in my boat while on the water. Hard to prove at that point. Cooler in the trunk!
