The daily limit for walleye in MI is 5 fish whereas in OH it's 6 fish per day. Can you legally launch out of MI, catch your 6 fish limit in OH and then bring them back to the ramp in MI?
Or would you be in violation back in MI for having too many fish (even though they were caught in OH)?

You can legally do it as long as you do both of the following:
1) Have a valid Ohio license in your possession
2) Return immediately to the ramp in Michigan, without stopping to fish

1. Can I launch my boat in Michigan and fish walleye in Ohio or Ontario in April and May….and bring my catch back into
Michigan?
Answer> Yes! As long as when you return through Michigan waters you do not drop lines and fish. You must also have the
appropriate Ohio or Ontario fishing license.
