Andrew Cuomo's new ice fishing regulations

[JonPerry]

Governor Cuomo rammed another bill through in the dark of night. Called SAFE ACT II, Secure All Fishing Equipment. New regulations as follows:

Only 1 tip-up or tip-down may be used. It may have a spool holding no more than 10 yards of line, but you can only put 7 yards on it unless fishing in a bona fide ice fishing derby, then you may use 10 yards.

Automatic jigging tip-ups or tip-downs are banned. Current owners may keep theirs as long as they are registered.

Bringing any fishing implement within 500 feet of any school (of fish) shall be a felony.

What's this clown going to come up with next?

Don't forget the $500 reward(funded by taxpayer money) for turning in someone who has more than 7 hooks on their line.

Adkroy...one more u hit 8000 .....jabberjaws...lol

I found this in another subsection:

"All fish caught and harvested must be tagged with the appropriate game tags within two minutes of landing.  The tag may be inserted in the dorsal fin of the fish."

Don't forget you only have 7 days to phone in your catch to NY DECALS automated phone system.

[Desperado]

if you like your icehole, you can keep your icehole

[LoneWolf]

    LOL !!

Don't forget DeBlasio wants to add some amendments to it.

[Pickeralpicker91]

Don't forget you only have 7 days to phone in your catch to NY DECALS automated phone system.

How could I forget that?  Also, because of the way the system is set up you will have to call separately for each fish you catch.  Good luck with a limit of perch.

[ADKer]

DEC will be deploying Robo-Fish to catch those not following the King's Edicts.

[ICE WANDERER]

            DeBlassio want to do away with  the charter schools of fish so the will be harder to catch!

[Townie]

Let us not forget the outta touch millionaire who lost the last prez. election tried to transfer dedicated F&W fees into the general fund while serving as Governor. Sportsman cried foul and he quickly returned the $.  Just sayin...

[mudchuck]

And all hooks will be barbless and have no point so the fish don't get hurt...

[blizzardfisher]

I think your BS detector may need to be recalibrated....

LMFAO!!!!!

[Timber]

Oh Oh a supporter showed up . 

[Dem]

Its called sensible terminal tackle control.

Page 4, Paragraph 3 : " The use of glow jigs will be permitted on certain waters, however....All glow jigs, regardless of size, must have fishermans name, address, and phone number printed clearly on them using a #2 pencil. "

Yeah because the current prez is so In touch with reality.

Don't forget about the fine print under the license paragraph on page 4
"If you can't afford fishing equipment or a license just sign up at the busiest lake the DNR
will confiscate 1/3 of the ice fisherman catches as they off the lake and provide fish for you."
Sign up will be after 12:00 pm to give you plenty of time to get out of bed.

[Rebelfisher]

Do I need a class 3 permit complete with submitted fingerprints, registration, a $200 tax, and approval from BATFE, Disgraced Eric holder , my corrupt local sheriff AND CUOMO to use GLOW jigs??

Those glow jigs are the equivalent to tracer rounds I bet!!! And maybe those oh so scary "cop killer bullets"!!! 

[adkRoy]

If you read paragraph 8 subsection C, it states "All jigging poles must be registered with the state police with the exception of any jigging pole dating before 1898 which would be considered and Antique. All poles must be registered by April 1st, 2014 or the owner faces a class C felony."

[tomturkey]

               AND  theyre gonna tax cemetery plots as real estate     

That is not funny. I can not remember what the application was that I was filling out one time but it asked if I owned a cemetery plot.

[JiggerDan]

Power augers manufactured after this date are banned. Current owners may register and keep theirs. They may not be sold and must be destroyed upon the death of owner. This is to keep some mentally unstable individual from going on a "mass drilling spree" and turning a perfectly good frozen lake into Swiss cheese, therefore rendering it un-safe.

Last, but not least, if some unscrupulous individual shall violate numerous fish & game laws, thereby leading to the decimation of an entire species, then you, the law abiding ice fisherman shall be punished for his  crimes.

These new laws enacted by executive order of Andrew Cuomo....All hail the king!

Who, by the way, is not anti ice fishing, he owns a tip-up and keeps it in a dark corner of his closet.

[Rebelfisher]

But TRUST us!! We are not infringinging on your fishing rights...these are just COMMONSENSE steps!

I'm glad to see everyone outraged about this, he needs to be voted out this year and the only way it'll happen is if your out there making sure everyone you know votes. The democrats have gotten very good at getting the inner city poor out to the polls and us middle class working people have not been turning out at the polls like we should

[adkRoy]

Remember, the state of NY is doing all this to protect the kids!

[chrisk]

Good at turning out the graveyard voters in the Bronx who don't icefish.

[Rebelfisher]

Yeah it's too bad that the mostly progressive liberal New York City metro area controls the population and therefore the vote of the State of New York. Same thing here in PA, the whole state is Republican except for the population hubs of Philly, and Pittsburgh.

Agreed, but that is just half of the battle. Getting people out to vote is one thing, but a low / no information voter can also have a negative effect as well. Progressives have a great strategy in spinning the neWS and facts.

It sucks that the progressive libtards control all the media. That's why its up to us who are informed to use whatever forms of communication that are available to us to spread the truth. Internet forums, blogs, letters to the editor or having political arguments with your buddies.  If you are afraid to talk politics and issues for fear of offending people then you deserve whatever crappy government you get.

Yes! Agree 100%

        Page 10 paragraph 3 rule 10:3. 11, all fishing hooks will have a code stamped on the shaft, so if you hook a fish or another fisherman and you leave the hook in them, they can trace it back to who bought the hooks.
