I don't want to start a firestorm
so that's why this is posted on CBA.
It looks like we will not get a definitive answer on the Maryland rockfish regs until March 24th. The same holds true for Virginia's regs.
Here is my question. After the Md. season closes, we run to Smith Point Va. to catch rock. We are allowed to fish in Vir. waters (Md and Virginia have reciprocal license, you just need Virginia FIP #), catch fish, and return to Md. waters. We can't have lines in the water, but we can transport the fish
What if Virginia's limit is different (and more lenient) than ours? Do you think we can leave out of PLO, run to Virginia, catch our fish, and return to PLO with our catch?
Of course I know the answer will be no. You better not get caught with a fish that doesn't adhere to Md. regs in Md. waters; but isn't that what we do in late Dec.?
Do Virginia charters run to Md. waters during our Trophy season? I believe their trophy season begins and ends on different dates than ours.
Just thinking out loud
