Ohio Line

As a newbe to this forum, lake Erie fishing and a Pa. resident I would like some guidance on what latitude I have with the Ohio/Pa border. Does DNR hotly patrol this border to enforce license? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

You can fish in Ohio waters, but the license determines where you launched your boat.   (Assuming you were talking about fishing from a boat).  i.e. If you launch out of Walnut, you can fish Ohio waters as long as you don't bring any fish onto land in Ohio.  Vice versa.

If you are fishing from shore\land, you need the license of the state whose land you are standing on.

Hope this helps.

 
Are you certain of this? I know PA has that on Pymy but don't believe it is the case on Erie. I could be wrong.
 
Anyways you are better paying the 40$ to Ohio launching out of a safer nicer harbor and wasting less than that 40$ in fuel as well.

Have been on charters from Ohio (Conny) on the lake, the captain said "they do patrol" and will check for liceneses. Both states patrol area heavy, but its been awhile fishing the state line. I would say check your GPS location!!!!! Don't risk it.

803110 longitude. Yes they do patrol. How often? It varies. Will you get stopped? If they (either side) see you, you can count on it.

The following fishing license agreements apply to boundary waters. You must abide by all other rules and regulations of the state in which fishing and where you launch or retrieve your boat.
