Just to get this discussion out of the Nootka reports thread what is your interpretation?
I have always been under the belief that according to the regs, until I am at my place of permanent residence I can only have in my possession twice the daily limit of species as well as adhering to the halibut slot.
What was brought up in the Nootka thread was that "if" I take my fish to a 'licensed processor' it is no longer really deemed part of my possession limit. I find this hard to believe and have sent an email to DFO this morning to confirm.
According to the "fish processor" philosophy I could spend a month in a location and catch my seasonal limit so long as I ensure a licensed fish processor has all of my fish. When my license is covered in ink I can load a pile of coolers up in the back of my truck and drive back home to the place where my mail is delivered.
Does anyone have any documented evidence that the fish processor exemption is legit?
