When I had my setline permit, I put floats on the line so I could see the movement near where the fish was, so I could take the fish off without having to pull the whole line. Have they changed the number of hooks? Or did I just forget?? I know when I built my setline I went off the regulation so if they reduced the number of hooks I may have to modify my line if I ever try it again... One thing on Cutler, the water is so shallow, that it was easy to put floats along the setline without changing the depth of the hooks very much... Was there a rule there that you had to have one end on shore? Or maybe that was just how I used mine, but I would take the anchor out in then go fish from bank and when I got fish, I'd take the pontoon out to retrieve the fish... If you were in a boat it might be more fun to just use two anchors one on each end, then pull it from the floats...
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
