They can get a temp license for five bucks all they need is to provide Thier address. You can fish as many rods as you want as long as it's allowed by local laws.
I don't think so, with a caveat. What a WRC officer told me once was that it was a judgement call and it depends on whether or not that was the only activity (or at the beach inactivityDoes that apply to surf fishing? I've done that dozens of times with my girlfriend. I might have to invest on a license for her now lol
There is a boat license (blanket for hire) and a block of 10 for recreational use for Coastal waters, just not inland waters.quick answer to the original poster...
No, there's no such thing as a "boat license" or a "Buddy License" in NC. Licenses are issued to individuals. A temp license, as suggested, is available.
I would be very cautious also about having more than one line in the water in a situation like that.
As written, NC does not. I have never seen this enforced first hand, but I have heard of people being warned and asked to stop fishing.most states alow kids to fish as long as they are under 16 with or with out adult ,
Moot point for me, sort of, because I have a lifetime license but I would fight that if I were driving a boat and allowed a guest to bring a rod and fish when we were stopped. The reason I say "sort of" is that I have been that guest on a few occasions. I throw a breakdown rod and a little tackle in a bag when I go sailing or water skiing with someone. Netting or in any way handling the gear while on the water is a definite no no. I could sort of see it for trolling. If you go with water skiers you get your best opportunities while they are drifting and cursing at the motor...Any help from a non fisher i.e. toting gear, prop for poles, driving the boat, netting fish, are all associated with fishing. So buy a license and not worry with the judge.
The blanket license is only for USCG licensed captains.There is a boat license (blanket for hire) and a block of 10 for recreational use for Coastal waters, just not inland waters.
ETA: Drum Runner beat me to the punch...
I'm aware....That's why I said it was for hire......The blanket license is only for USCG licensed captains.
