Don't forget to ask them about having a "federal" coast guard license too!

If any of these so called "guided trips" are being done on any "navigable waters" and they are using a boat with a gas powered motor, they are not only required to have a state fishing guides license, they are also required to have a limited coast guard license, which also requires them to have insurance, and be certified in both first aid and CPR.

If they are doing this without the proper licenses, then they are breaking both state and federal laws. Those fines can get pretty spendy.....maybe even as much as ten times the value of what a donated guided trip will go for!

There appears to be a lot of unhappy people out there with WT, and if it was me, I would be thinking twice before I started advertising at any type of auction or fundraiser that I am donating a "guided trip" if I did not hold the proper legal licenses to so! Way to many mad people that's just waiting to make an example!

Just a thought!!
