Correct me if I'm wrong, but last time I knew jigging or bobbing for cusk is illegal in NH! Did thew law change?
Maybe this is why people still believe it's illegal... it's on their website!!!http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/fishing/cusk-line.htmlhttp://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/fishing/cusk-fishing.htmlAfter the 6 cusk lines are set then the “2 trap” law takes effect...you can jig 2 lines or set 2 tip ups for any species in the water body. The way I see it.The usual method employed by anglers is night fishing with cusk lines. A cusk fishing line is defined as a device for storing line, which is not free running and will hold enough Dacron or squidding line to reach bottom in the area chosen to fish. The angler's name and address must be plainly marked on each device. On the business end, you must have a sinker or weight one ounce or heavier (if using 1 oz. sinker, must be lead-free), and not more than six inches above the single, baited hook. Each angler is allowed six of these cusk devices and the specificied angler must check them by visually inspecting the bait end of the line, at least once every 24-hour period. Sound confusing? It isn't really, considering this method is a "throwback" to earlier times when limits and methods for angling did not exist. Furthermore, the angler is prohibited from "jigging" or "bobbing" this cusk line in order to attract fish.
It is only ILLEGAL to jig for cusk using a dedicated "cusk fishing device".It is LEGAL to jig for cusk using any other device such as a jig rod. Day or night.
This is digs question...So me and some buddies are going to try jigging for cusk tomorrow night. We have a spot where we think they live. What time frame works best for you guys anyone find a time of night that works better than others or do they kinda come in whenever and eat and runNot trying to bust anyone's balls just trying to find out if jigging was still illegal for cusk!It appears it's still ILLEGAL to bob or jig for cusk...
