Fishing without a License in washington.?

2008-06-27 11:56 am
I thought I have a fishing license but it turned out to be expired for a couple months. That is one reason why the police officer keep asking me about do I have my license and I said yes. He checked and said I have never have a fish license which turned out they are going to put handcuffs on me and going to take me to the police station. At last I have gave my Social Security Number to the polcie officer and they are able to find my lisence which has expired. They have fine me for $250. I want to know is that the fine for just fishing without a license or with what i found out that giving false info for fishing without a license.

I am really confuse and stress out. I have no idea my license is out of date because I purchase it in Dec 2007 and which I thought it is last for a year and it turned out their expire date for every fishers are Mar 31,2008.

Please Help if You Can. Thanks A lot for your help and which I will be more happy to see what can I do for paying less fine.
thanks

Yeah, they are seasonal. Ignorance is no excuse but a judge might be lenient. You have to have a licence if you are over 15 years old.

It sounds like they fined you for no license. If they had wanted to get you for making a false statement they would have put you in jail.

You can go to court and tell the judge you thought it was good for a year and the judge might reduce the fine, but only if you're lucky. If you can't pay the fine, tell the judge. They will sometimes let you make payments over time.
