To be honest, I had never heard of "shore lunch" before.

Shore lunch is a common service provided by guides, especially Walleye,
and trout guides. Most of the time they catch a daily limit, then go to
the shore and fix it up for lunch, then continue fishing, keeping
another daily limit. It's not legal, but they have eaten the evidence of
keeping more than the daily limits.

Hmm. The way I've read about it, I didn't think they cooked up a
whole limit. That's usually several fish per person. A wee bit too
filling for a lunch, especially with legal walleye. Never occurred
to me that some might do it to avoid limit rules.

The trips that I have been on, the shore lunch consumption was not added
to the afternoons catch, but on these trips (fly in's) every fish that was
kept, was consumed, none were flown out (walleye 2 meals a day for 7
days, and I still didn't get bored with eating it)

Since the law was you could not transport over one day's catch, a 7 day
trip meant eating every thing that was caught and kept the first 6 days,
few people can eat more than a daily limit in a day's fishing, unless some
were not fishing in the group, over daily limits were seldom kept

I have never been on a fishing trip like that, my fishing has just been on
lakes with a boat of your own or you rent a boat. With the exception of a
boat trip out on the Gulf of Mexico to deep sea fish and that turned out not
to be so good as I got sea sick. I caught a couple but I don't even know
what they were and I gave them to friends.
