When fishing on a boat with live wells, if you have more then two people on the boat, do you have to separate the fish for each person or can all the fish go into the live wells. Do you have to use baskets or stringers to extra people? Thanks for you any help.
I just cut the tail for the 3rd. person
ive fished with 4 in my boat 2 people just put fish in each livewell the other 2 cut left or right fin off just as long as you can id the 1s you caught

Yes, each person MUST be able to identify his/her fish. There is already a post covering this if you search for it, and the agents answered there. As the others have said, all you need to do is mark the fish for each person...hole punch, clip a fin with a pattern, I guess even a sharpie if it won't wash off!
We just put a safety pin in the lip for the second guy in the live well
When one of the three in my boat is Joedog there is no need to worry!
That's gonna leave a mark.
cause joedog is the only one catching any?? :biggrin
(i got ya back joe!!!!)

I think the diaper pins would work. You can get different colors for each person.
We use metal stringers. Since most lake limits are 15 crappie we take 2 metal stringers and make 1 out of them. Take the hooks off of one and put on the other until you have 15 on a stringer. We always clip the fish through the lip so they stay lively in the live well. You can always tie a string or a piece of fishing line on a stringer to mark it. Easy to tell your limit when you have all 15 hooks filled.
My brothers have agents come in the shop often and say that keeping fish separated is one of there easiest tickets they write.
Man that's rough to have to keep your fish separate as long as you only have the limit of fish per person in the boat Your ok down here
That's what we do,It also helps people that can not count to 15.Quote:
