Bummer. It seems like a small law...that you have to be licensed to operate a Washington Charter Boat to pick up clients on the Washington side... but it's not...nor is it one that any captain wouldn't know.

He screwed up, and he'll end up paying for it. He'll get his boat back, I'm sure, but not until he kicks in some pretty hefty fines.

I know of several charter operators who have both Washington and Oregon licenses so that they can pick up clients on either side this time of year...that's the way to do it if'n you don't want to get busted.

Fish on...
