LOL Boy you sure hate to lose a conversation! Oh I’m above the law now. Sure glad you can tell me how I’m thinking. Go read a book and educate yourself. I’ve talked with three separate CO’s in the field now and they all agree it’s a stupid law. We are in the process of changing it to include MN Lifetime license holders. It will take time but it’s an issue that needs addressing. I certainly don’t need someone uneducated telling me that I’m basically stupid. Not! I’m really tired of you now that you know everything. Bye.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyI only wish I was as smart as you Doberfisherman. Never get into a pissing contest with a skunk. if you re-read my previous post, you will see that I “Understand the law just fine”. I don’t have to agree with it. Check your typing while your at it.

Guess not. Anyway, I tried to log in and forgot my password. Now that I’m in, I read all the posts and I’m starting to yawn a bit. Haven’t been fishing in the Mississippi lately, but plan too soon. I’ll keep you informed. Doberfisherman, you would make a great CO with all your negative comments. Each to his own. I understand the law just fine. I DON’T have to agree with it.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyKind of an interesting conversation with my lawyer friend. In fact, the same type of situation happened with him. He bought a Minnesota out of state fishing license, since he lives in Fountain City Wis. Now that he has a MN fishing license, he can fish during his lunch hour in the Mississippi, which is two minutes away. NOT! He is a Wisconsin resident with a Minnesota fishing license and not allowed to fish the Mississippi. The only difference between him and me, is that his is an annual license, and mine is a lifetime license. He said he would gladly represent me in court if I get issued a ticket. If he can get the jury to acquit, then the law would be changed or some rule similar. Interesting.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyI’m having lunch today with a friend who is a Winona MN lawyer and whom I’ve known since 2nd grade. He will look into this and give his legal opinion. I’ll keep you updated.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyOooops
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyYou guys are all awesome! I’m laughing my fanny off! I’m not in jail and I’m finally reading these posts. I’ve been rebuilding my “Excalibur Motorcycle trailer” and have been super busy. OK, there are a few guys that read the initial post and yes, the CO gave me a verbal warning after checking my MN lifetime license the summer of 2017. My boat has WI license numbers on the side and that’s how he noticed that I’m out of state. He was super nice about it. The CO stated that if he checked me again with the same results, he would have to contact the Wis. CO and report me for a ticket. And that is the entire story with nothing left out.
I’m ticked that the other guy with a MN lifetime license who is now from any other state can fish the Mississippi with his MN lifetime license and I can’t simply because I’m now in Wisconsin. And no, I don’t fish any Wis lakes so that’s why I don’t buy a Wis license; otherwise it would be smarter and more simple. I’m working with the state Senator and Representative. Slow! I’ll check back more often…..sorry.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyNotfishfisherman now that makes sense! I’m glad you see this is a stupid law. By the way, I’ve already contacted my State Senator and my State Representative. They are at this time looking at this situation. The State Rep has even found a loophole for some fishing laws. This is how I think it will go……..
1. I get a ticket
2. I go to court in Alma WI
3. Have a jury trial of my peers.
4. I get found not guilty.
5. I stop getting tickets.
6. The state of Wis. states that any Wis resident who fishes the Mississippi River must have a Wis license. (Exception: a Wis resident who has in their possession a MN lifetime fishing license may fish the Mississippi River from track to track.)Thanks for your input!!!!!
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyHey Vger, you wrote…”If you were from TX you would need either a MN or WI license to fish the river…” NOT if you had a MN Lifetime Fishing License previously as I do. From Texas, you could come to the Mississippi and fish from track to track! That’s what this whole thing is about. The guy from Texas who owns a MN lifetime license gets to fish the Mississippi. The guy from Wisconsin, (Me) doesn’t get to fish the Mississippi river. Equitable? I think NOT!
Notfishfisherman, that is the discrimination that I’m talking about. See it now? And thanks for your input. I respect everyone’s reply whether I agree or not.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyThanks “Oldstar”. What you say makes perfect sense, unlike some of the fishing/hunting laws. Most laws are decent and the CO’s work their tail off for us, but this border law doesn’t make any sense. Totally agree with you!
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyWe vote people into office to make laws fair and equitable for all. When a law isn’t fair for all fishermen, then I feel it needs to be changed. Just because the law is a “little bit unfair” doesn’t mean we should just look the other way and take the beating. It has nothing to do with $20 bucks. It has to do with fairness. And to move back to MN? Really? That answer just tells me that there is a severe lack of common sense. Fighting the DNR is always tough but this is one small fight I’m willing to take on. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyThanks for the many replies men. I appreciate them. Some are more interesting and intelligent. Many years ago women weren’t allowed to vote. (1920) This was a law that obviously was discriminatory. It got changed. Blacks couldn’t vote either but they changed that discrimination. When a guy who has a Lifetime license from MN and lives in Texas, but can fish the Mississippi, and I can’t with the same license, well I think that’s a little unfair. Now hopefully that makes sense to some of you. Yes, it’s worth my time and a judges time to change this law. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyI’ve been to Ghost River Lodge and we caught lots of fish but all them them basically eaters. They run a nice program there. No problems.
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyHeck NO! They pinched me for an extra bunch of money to upgrade to the Ultra Terra. But when I saw it work at the Sports Show I was impressed. Just press a button and it deploys instantly. Really nice. I ain’t gettin’ any younger!
If you can blame guns for killing people, I can blame my pencil for misspelled words. -Larry the Cable GuyWell, I was at the Midwest Sports Show and the guys at Reed’s really knew what they were talking about! So I bought the Hummingbird Onyx 8 coupled with a new Minnkota Terrova. Now I’m calling them tomorrow morning to exchange the Terrova for an Ultra Terrova! How nice! Therefore, I’ll have a great working Minnkota Powerdrive like brand new for sale in a couple of weeks. PM me if you are interested.
