Can anyone explain to me how the possession limits work for out of town guests, especially when going on a 6 - 7 day trip to the West Coast.
I know the locals can go out everyday get their 1 day possession, go home and back the next day to do the same thing day in and day out until their annual limit is reached but for out of towners it's much different
When we go to the West Coast from Vancouver, we usually do this every year and send 3 boats up and spend approx. 10 grand in total to do so when you add everthing up.
As some of you know it doesnt take long to get your possession limits on the West Coast so when/where does the possession limit come into play, does the fish need to be brought back to your original desitnation or can you bring it in to a fish proccessor and have it shipped back and fish for a couple more days?
Were not try to cheat any system as we obey every rule in the book, except maybe having a few beers... but we spend a enourmous amount of money on these trips so were trying to find out whats legal and whats not.
I know this is a touchy subject and some people bend the rules but we just need to know how the DFO looks at it, I've sent the same thing to them but havent heard back, must be too busy figuring out the halibut rules... any clarification would be greatly appreciated
