[quote wagdog]"Jugging" is not legal here unfortunately. . .
using a trotline/setline is not catch and release fishing since 98% of the time (probably higher) the fish has swallowed the hook and the only way to retrieve it is when you are [#FF0000]cleaning that sucker[/#FF0000].[/quote]
ooh - no, if it's UL, it better not be a sucker! [shocked]
Hmm - so does that affect where you can use one? Do they have restrictions on certain bodies of water.... just curious.
I agree - I'd rather set the hook than just "collect and harvest". And having to stay by the line - I see that, but I could see the perks of "set it and forget it" - meaning - drop a line in, then go fish up river or some such, then check it on your return. Although that could land ya in a heap too 'suppose. Say you caught a limit up river, then found you had more "non-releasable" fish on return. Oops!
I'll probably never get the license to try it, as I'd rather invest in the second pole permit. THAT is money well spent IMHO.
