Just to let you know that if your a American and cross the Canadian boarder on the water while fishing on great lakes or St.Lawrence river. You have to let the CBSA know that your entering their country. Now if you are a fishing person or just paddling you will be stopped by the CBSA patrol and have to pay on the spot a fine of $1000.00 they do take credit cards or they will confiscate the boat and all the equipment that is on it. This has all ready happen to a Tournament fisherman while fishing a BASS Tournament. Now the USA is letting the Canadians to enter our waters and fish but can't land the boat on USA soil unless in need of gas or food use of restrooms. Now How is this fare to US citizens being not allowed but the Canada's people can. You can read more about it if you get Bassin times under ( Canada cracks down on boarder fishermen. reported by Frank Sargeant)
