So my brother say's the boat is all ready for a fishing trip if I decide to go to Vancouver during Christmas holidays. I have allways been a little confused with the reg. on using lights while fishing at night, and I wonder if this set up would be legal in AB? Sure would be a lot of fun though.
Think a C.O. would have to be a real grinch to give you grief.

I don't think the CO's would say much... maybe RCMP on the other hand... If its docked who cares.

Lights on a boat are legal regardless of how many you have !! You just can't direct them into the water.

However if the vessel is underway, the nav lights must be able to clearly be seen.

Wouldn't think they'd say anythin' but ''Happy holidays'' :)

Who needs nav lights with that thing. You can see it for a mile or two away.

As long as you are not directing it into the water in such a way as to attract fish you would be good to go. This of course is all about the CO's interpretation.
