Ok, here is a situation: Springer fishing at the Wind, I have my limit, but my buddy has one to go. Strictly speaking (not opinions, legalities) why can't I continue to fish for other species. Lots of other things are open at the time (bass, NPMs,walleye) and they are all known to strike a trolled plug.

Obviously I got popped this spring for not knowing the regs, but I really think this is a valid argument. I bought a fishing licence, not a Spring chinook licence, right???
