Detroit RCL question

[Smitty]

At the risk of starting a war, a question came up among myself and some other folks yesterday in talking about the tournament this past weekend that I couldn't answer.

I noticed that the tournament allowed a 5 fish limit to be weighed. Isn't that area limited to 4 fish until May 1 (or is that only Ohio waters)? Otherwise, was a provision for 5 fish in place for the tournament since it was live release?

4 fish per person. Two people in the boat can keep 8.

[Z-Man]

2 people in boat x 4 fish per person = 8 fish limit per boat.

The tournament limit was LESS than the legal limit.

[Smitty]

DOH!!!!!!!! Never mind..
Now if we could just whack this thread before it gets ugly:-)

Thanks

I have a questions.The limit is 4 in Canadian waters,what if these guys caught fish in Canadian waters.The 5th fish would make that illegal.

[These guys]

These guys means two fisherman times 4 Walleyes per fisherman for a boat limit of 8.

They were fishing in Michigan water, and we still have a six (6) per person limit on the Detroit River and Lake Erie. Canada and Ohio chose to limit the catches for the brief period noted above.

[Smitty]

So they were covered in either case (by limit or the fact of 2 people in the boat)..

Thanks, that's what I was wondering.
