Cusk Bait????

[Pail Rider]

Here's what I sent and recieved to LT. Bryant:

Good morning L-T.

Question for you on “glow sticks”.  If one is attached to your cusk fishing device, is it considered a “jack light” or a light for attracting fish?  My interpretation is that it would be a light, therefore illegal.  A buddy thinks it is a glow stick and not a light, therefore legal.  What is your interpretation?

Thanks as always,

Ken

His response:

Ken,
 
I would say your interpretation is correct.  The purpose of a glow stick is to emit light...which would be just as much an attractant as any other type of "light".  I don't think it would do much for cusk fishing anyway since they operate primarily by smell and not sight.
 
Sincerely,
 
Lt. Robert Bryant

Thanks for the update Kenman

By the sounds of this then "Glow Lures" would be illegal also.

Thanks good to know.  Guess that idea won't be used any longer.
