Only need to record Lings on the inside of the island. Sooke, all the way around to… somewhere northern island. Check the regs.
Most west coast areas have no annual limit for lingcod
Link below shows daily/possession/annual limits
Limits can change so always check before you go

X5. Thanks....
While on the subject of recording Lings on licence
In case anyone wasn’t aware (or read the fine print above) you can now record your catch online. Same DFO website you buy your licence from.
Did this recently after keeping a ling without a licence on board and is pretty easy. Just make sure you have good reception where you’re going as I don’t think “my phone isn’t working” excuse would go over well
Next time you go to print a license that registered catch is filled in automatically

How would a officer deal with the fact that it's recorded incorrectly? The area information is in the date section and there is no actual date recorded. If I recorded my catch like that and got checked on the water with a ling on board, I can imagine at least a few extra questions.

Yeah noticed that. I don’t see it being a problem though. One of your 10 lings for the year has been accounted for. The only time the date would really matter to a fisheries officer is the day they check you, make sure if you record in ink on the day that you fill in the date. All previous dates are basically irrelevant
They should fix that though

No
Great info. First I've ever heard of the NRLS account. No deadline is given for upload though, so I don't think anyone will get in trouble for not doing it.
