How much time do you get for fishing with out license?
Generally, fishing without a license does not constitute jail time. Usually a citation and a fine is sufficient, fine amounts will vary depending on location and/or amount of offenses. It is really doubtful that any state (or country) that I know of will hand out jail time for such a minor offense.
About the only area I could see where such an offense might constitute jail time is if the offender is fishing and/or keeping protected game, or using illegal methods to do the fishing.

How does a fisherman know what size fish hook to use?
it really depends on what species you are fishing for,on the bait you will be using it also goes on conditions of the water or if the fish are biting "shy" generally the whole concept is to present a bait as "natural" as you can get it so not to spook the fish,for instance if your using maggots i would say a size 16 to 24 for sweetcorn pellet etc.. i would use a 12-14 for bread flake/crust etc..8-10now for a nice lump of luncheon meat i would use 6-8 on the leadger, this is a rough guide for you i have included a URL for you that explains it in more depth hope this helped!!!
