Thread: Need an answer !!!

i would think u can have as many rods in the boat as u want as long as she doesnt have one in her hand u should be alright.probably woulnt be a good idea 2 have 2 out at the same time with her sitting there that would give the warden a reason to question u

My understanding is if she does not have a pole in her hand she does not have to have a license. There is no law that says you must have one to be with someone who is fishing. I would just make sure if you have both in the water that one is not within her reach. Two weeks ago they were checking at 51 a boat had three guys in it. One sis not have a license. The GW did not make a deal out of it because he was just sitting there and did not have a pole in his hands.

My wife is same way and will not buy a license. She goes out on Enid with me in the summer and lays out on the back deck reading. Has never been a problem with the game wardens.

My wife and I had just got married in 99' and was doing a little fishing/camping honeymoon thang at the lower Sardis Lake. She didn't have a license because she didn't know how to fish, never been in a boat. I hadn't fished the lower lake but a couple of times and had no idea that you can't set out a trotline,:D and about the time I got it all set up I kept hearing a horn blowing untill I saw the GW motioning us to come over there (him standing on the bank with an air horn). So I thought he would check my license and say have a nice day, he proceeded to write us both a ticket for an illegal trotline and one for Her for no fishing license. I said WHAT, She's not fishing, he told me when she handed me a can of hooks (they were in the back of the boat and I couldn't reach them) that she was fishing too. I told him it was our honeymoon and so he gave us a break and just wrote me a ticket for the trotline($100), what a guy! Well you live and learn, the thing that gets me is there was yo-yo's and limb lines all around the lake. I guess the moral of the story is if you don't have a license don't touch anything that is associated with fishing i.e. tackle box, minnow bucket etc. BIRD
