Hey folks. So I since the wording in the law is as clear as mud and Mr. Green Jeans is sneaky. I spoke with my GA DNR buddy. I asked about license requirements for Lake Russell. While fishing on a boat or kayak on the water of any state boundary lake either states fishing license will be accepted. HOWEVER!!!! If you fish from the bank. You will have to have that states fishing license. So for me I have a GA license. I will not be able to make a cast from a SC side boat ramp without a SC license. Hope this helps... In GA this applies to the TN, AL, FL, NC, and SC lakes. Knowing how sneaky they can be I would imagine they will be out and about with the waterways since the "season" is kicking off. (Jkjkjk nothing but love for them.)

I was gonna cover this in my roundtable but I figured this was something that needed to be told prior to. I will cover some of the "Violatiors Compact" in my roundtable. These are states that will suspend your privileges based on the outcome of the violation state's case.

Can't wait to get this party started.
