They weren't wearing life jackets, and didn't have any paddles in the boat.
 
Well, in Canada, least of all Ontario, it is illegal to fish at night using a light...I forget what it is called but there is a specific term for it....

Were they really fishing, it looked like they were riding in a boat at night.

In Canada we don't have flying fish, not that I know of. Is there any law on driving a boat in a lake at night?

Actually, there are flying fish in canada. Very hard to find and catch but I know there are, at least in the oceans that surround Canada.

The using under water flashlight is extremely illegal. If you get caught, you are royally fucked. Boat, gear and vehicle, say goodbye.

I forget the technical term but it's consider unfair baiting. Fish, like most wild animals, are drawn to light. When you use at night, that would be the only source of light and would draw fish in from all around. Unfair advantage over the dumb fish. :D
 
After viewing the video, I have to say it is not illegal what they are doing.
What is illegal is if you submerge the flashlight in the water. There is no law against having a flashlight in a boat and pointing it at the water.
 
Looks like pudgy boy could eat less of those fish and more veggies.
Then again, fish aren't bad for you...sooo...

Sorry, you don't have to submerge the light for it to be illegal. All you have to do is point it at the water for anything other than navigation or signalling. If you're pointing it at the water, and fishing or have freshly caught fish on board, you're fucked because the game wardens are NOT stupid....

And according to the marine laws, it isn't mandatory to have a spotlight on your boat, the proper green/red bow light, green and red cabin lights and a white light at the stern (2 if the boat is over a certain length).

I can undertand what they were doing if it was just goofing around and they put the fish back, no matter what it was a pretty effin funny video.

As for them being "flying fish" I don't know if that is exactly correct. I think they were just jumping at the light...and I've seen bass and trout jump that high for a swarm of gnats.....

Well that's funny. Two summers ago I was questioned by a game warden. It was 4 am and I was in a boat, by myself, with a huge spotlight to show where I was going. The light was pointed in the water. When I came to shore, I didn't even see the fucker standing there until he said hello. I was like "wtf are you doing at 4 am" LOL. Anyways, he just checked over the safety shit for the boat, my fishing license and asked if I was lucky. He saw the light and he must've seen me pointing it at the water. No mention of it at all. He was more focused on whether my hooks were barbed. Apparently the body of water I was fishing in had a "no barb hooks" rule and it's a good thing I only fish with barbless. :)
 
They're gunning em down in scores throughout the streets and our law enforcers are protecting a few fish. Where's Bernie Goetz when you need him?

Well, I would hazard a guess to say that if he thought you were Light Fishing he would have questioned you. My only question would be: Were you close enuff to shore for him to be seeing what you were doing? If he saw you through binocs and saw that you were using your light for navigation then that's why it never came up.

BTW: It IS illegal to navigate with a spotlight unless you are entering or leaving a harbor or docking.....and then you can only use it momentarily.
 
My beef

Glad people are more safety awared as 6 or 7 yrs ago, often have new boaters set out around sunset or pre-dawn without lights. Especially the slower crafts sailing dinghies(?), C-4, OC's that can't get out of the way quickly.
