is there anything in the regulations about trot lines under the ice? what a way to score some fillets! wonder how this could be done? hum anyone have any suggestions on how you could do it?
I thought that the regs have changed to 3 hooks per line , am i wrong ?
Here is another one for the IDNR t answer: Can you use "Set Lines" during the winter while ice is on a lake?I do believe there is precedent: During the softwater season, you can use three poles, a trot line and a number of limb lines all at the same time. During the ice season, you can use three poles and . . . ? ? ? Interesting topic for sure.Also, I do run a trot line at times here in Indiana during the softwater season. One way to catch catfish but mainly for turtles. I do run them as the law states and I do not leave them in the water when not in use. (I really cannot afford to do that!) I now use Kahle Hooks and have found that these tend to hook in the jaw better and allows for release of fish not intended to be kept.
Back to the topic at hand, I do not believe you could use a trotline under ice as it explicitly states in the Ice Fishing subsection that you may not have more than 2 (or perhaps 3 with the new clarifications) hooks per line.
My take is that regardless of method if you're fishing thru ice, you're ice fishing. So that section on ice fishing would trump the ability to use a trotline
you guys are rite. i didnt even think about walleyes! maybe ill set some out at brady's on sylvan. that would be great to pull up a few doz. walleye in the morning! keep my limit and give the rest away. circle hooks and chubs would have to get something.
really? i give fish away all the time. i see others do it too. i would think if another angler has a licence and i give him some fish they would be in his bag limit.
