If my wife has the proper Salt Water fishing license, does she have to be on the boat with me when I set the Prawn traps and pick them up or is the fact that she is licensed sufficient? [?] Thanks, Striper Sniper

One other small tidbit to consider. Age does not matter as far as obtaining a licence is concerned but everyone should be aware that to be allowed to "possess" prawns or crabs the person claiming the possession MUST be capable of pulling the traps on their own.
I witnessed such an incident at Rocky Point when a fellow came in with a 2 person limit of crabs and to his dismay he was written up by an RCMP officer and had his catch confiscated. He had his young son with him and the officer said it was obvious that a 40-50 pound boy could not pull a full crab trap up from 60-100 feet.It is written in the regs.

That's a tough law in my opinion. Kind of discourages taking your kids with you.
