just wanted to make sure i'm leagal....we will be fishing on leech in early june, my 7 year old nephew will be in the boat with us, if there are 3 of us in the boat, him included, we can troll with 3 rods right?

as long as those over 16 have a license, then yes

Just remember that your nephew will have to wear his life jacket when the boat us moving. It's a good idea to wear one all the time anyways but it's law on the little kids.

And a great law at that even though it's common sense. If the water's under 65, everyone wears one in my boat. Really cold water makes it very hard to swim.

I also agree on it being lawful to have 3 rods out. I have three rods out when my wife and 6 year old are with me.

Just a reminder if he is going to keep fish:From page 7 fishing regs.
Nonresidents
• All nonresidents age 16 and older are required to have an appropriate
fishing license while angling. Nonresidents under age 16 do not need a
license if the parent or guardian is licensed.Children of an adult who has a Minnesota nonresident family license may possess their own limit of fish.
However, if the adult has an individual license, the child’s fish are included in the adult’s limit. Nonresidents under age 16 may purchase
a nonresident license and possess their own limit of fish.

thanks for all the info guys....he will never been in the boat without a life jacket on.
