That’s how Canada does it, and it’s effective! If you’re in a boat poaching, fishing without a license, etc....they’ll confiscate your boat, tackle, rods/reels, and if you launched from Canada they’ll confiscate your trailer and tow vehicle! If you want any of it back you have to buy it back at a public auction!
