actually just re read the regs and from what i see it looks like things have changed and that you can fish any number of rods whether people on the boat have licenses or not. however, anyone on board without a licesce cannot fish. in willys case the person without the license cannot fish. the person could buy a license without a stamp and legally fish if they only take the limit for 2 people otherwise the person without the license should not be playing any fish legally.
here's the quote from the regs "In tidal waters, there is no limit to the number of fishing rods you can use" no where does it say anything about being limited by the number of licenses on board. this used to be the case and it looks like it's changed or else they forgot to specify it in this years pamphlet. this is new to me and will phone dfo monday to confirm it's the reg and not something that was omitted.
