I know people are going to yell at me for even asking this, but going to anyways.
I have tried finding clarification of this in the regs, but if its there I can't find it.
With the daily limits, they are area specific. But what if you fish multiple areas on a single day.
I am certain you can NOT do this, but it kinda reads like you can. So say I catch a Ling in area 14-13. I have now limited out for that area. But what if I then cross over to 15-2. Can I then catch a second one, as the limit for that area is also 1? I would have one fish from each area.
One reason this seems like it should be okay is due to different limits in different areas. Most will say that the above example is NOT okay. But what about this scenerio:
I catch a Ling in Area 14-13 in the morning. Then I pull the boat out and head over to Sooke, say Area 20-4, where the limit is 3, and proceed to catch even 1 more. I have my limit for Area 14, but technically could still catch at least 1 more and be under my sooke limit.
Can't seem to find clear rules for fishing multiple areas in a single day. I know many people will have opinions on this, but does anyone know where to find an official link that covers fishing in multiple areas in a single day? I can't be the only person to ever have this question and I am sure there is an official rule to this.
