Any of the sections not listed with a specified penalty means an automatic court appearance (eg 34 (2) give false or misleading information)

Fishing without a licence - Total = $115
Unlawfully possess live baitfish or crayfish = $287
For the guys with Walleye tags:
Fail to properly/immediately tag fish = $230

Many more in there

Thanks for the Link!

I gotta' say that the 'FINES' are 'RIDICULOUSLY' LOW! What a Joke... Is it any wonder 'so many' people fish without licenses and/or choose to take fish home when they're not supposed to?

I could find NOTHING in those Statutes that says a persons Boat, Tackle or anything else could be taken away from them. It looks to me like you'd only get a BIGGER 'slap on the wrist' if you had to go before a 'Justice of the Peace' and even that is a stretch without getting caught with at least 10 fish!!

Man, I'm kinda' dissapointed in all that...
