Fishing Manitoba 2025

[Pigskin]

Looks like the province is finally getting tougher on cheating anglers in Manitoba.

No fishing license, $298.00 fine
Barbed hooks $52.00 fine last year, $220.00 this year.
Unattended line $220.00
Over limit was $102.00, now $390.00.

Picked up my new boat today. Losing a little size from a Lund Pro V 2075/ 250HP, to a Lund Crossover XS 1875/ 115 HP. Little smaller, but also will be much better on fuel. Going to throw it in the water on the weekend and see how it handles.

Love to see the province add some beef to those fines.

Man, I'm so stoked for open water season! Let us know how you like the new unit, @Pigskin.

The fines I am really interested in are, no license, over limit, and under and over sized fish. Time to hit those people hard.

Had the new boat out today. Water was a little choppy so it was a good test. New boat is a 800 lbs lighter. 135 less HP, and 2 feet short. I was surprise how quick the boat is, and how well it handled the chop. Also, used about a third of the fuel. we normally us to get to pickerel rock and back.

Love the increase in fines, but I'd like to see them revoke a person's license for an offense for a season (aside from not having a license, I'm thinking the $298 fine will take care of those fishing who fish without one. Get serious on the those who take over the limit and over the size limit, that's depleting the fish stock!!
