What Is The Fine If You Are Caught Fishing Without A Permit Or License?
Im wondering if its worth buying a fishing license or if i should just risk having to pay the fine. Im going camping with some friends in Kentucky and am wondering in Kentucky what the fine is (or in general if its around the same). Any help will get best answered and be much appreciated thanks.
In Texas, doesn’t it get like UP TO 400~ dollars?
I read the thing a year or 2 back…
It’s insane. It is NOT worth it unless you’re somewhere excluded or on private property.
I had to get mine, the day I got it – game warden paid me a visit.
I think they also call him the Bird and Turtle man.
Just buy a 1-day or a 3-day license, they’re cheap (a LOT cheaper than paying the fine and possibly losing your fishing equipment). Also, if you live in a state that borders KY, check your state’s laws…if you have a license in your own state, a lot of states have what’s called “reciprocal agreements” which means that they’ll honor fishing licenses from a neighboring state. Otherwise, spend the few bucks and buy a license.
Just buy a 3day license it’s pretty cheap.
It’s atleast $50 bucks. then there are multipliers such as how many rods you have, your age(?), how many fish you have if you’re in a boat, ect. plus they also take your equipment and your catch.
a one day permit is 10 bucks, a week is 30 bucks.
In AZ its about $200. But for some reason I think its more if you are from another state. You can buy one to 3 day permits to fish, it’s a cheaper than buying a one year license.
I woulg Google “Kentucky game and fish” or something like that.
