I don't think they planned it because of pike season. they  are implementing it then because its the start of the new season. they aren't gonna start it in the middle of the season, just waiting for next year

has nothing to due with pike season especially seeing as its one less fishing device

Such an awesome step they've made with this one! I don't understand how anyone can be upset about this change. With the waters we have in our state, it isn't anyone else's fault if you aren't catching fish. If you are one of those griping about not being able to catch like you want. This law is going to help you.
7 jawjackers, and 7 tipdowns for my ultralights are being added to my arsenal for next year. I've been tempted, but avoided it and stuck to the old school to avoid the grey nonsense if I get checked.
Aside from the really cold days that I can't keep my holes cleaned, I won't be using tipups much at after this.
Imagine dropping 6 rods with jaw jackers to the bottom of 100' of water with bait while you make laps ripping a buckshot?!?! Sending multiple baits to the bottom of such deep water this easily is going to create a huge advantage for me. But of course... not with out investing a grand or so.   ::) ;D
7 UL rods on tip downs over a school of perch sounds pretty dang deadly too.
The angle of the dangle is directly proportionate to the heat of the beat.

You should be able to find a few threads on them if you do a search. It turns your jig rod into a tip up essentially. Making setting and retrieving in deep water a flipping dream compared to tip ups.  ;D

I'm with you prchslyr, it will make fishing deepwater so much easier with jawjackers over tipups. Plus so much easier with the perch. :tipup:

So, 7 treble hooks equals 21 points. That would mean you would have to use a combination of single and treble hooks to stay within the limit eh?
From DEC Fishing Regs:
No person shall operate a tip‑up that has more than 5 lures or baits or a combination of both, or has more than 15 hook points in any combination of single, double or treble hooks.

That means 5 lures 15 hook points per line, not total.

Yup. However, 15 points, with a jaw-jacker might be a real nightmare, all of those extra points to get caught on the bottom of the hole while fighting a fish, especially a laker. Oh well. Nothing is perfect & ya can't please everyone.

Nice change, Getting older now,Drill 7 holes with 7 tip ups,Sit in chair light cigar and drink beer, Lets see 7 tip ups with 15 points = 105 Points, That's 105 single hooks ( these are hooks that are not married) ,52 double hooks and 1 single (Still not married) 35 trebles. Wow those fish don't stand a chance :tipup:

All ya need per tip-up, tip-down, what ever ya want to call them, is a lead headed spreader with two snelled hooks and minnows on each.   That will be 14 hooks (points) to maintain.  Believe me some days on Lake Erie two tip-ups (tip-downs) are plenty when the schools move in.

From now on all reg changes will take affect on April 1. Now that the fishing license is good for 1 year from date of purchase and hunting license from Sept 1, the April 1 for fishing makes sense. Also how did we get to this point as to criticize someone for using a particular device? Or Someone can "wheeler" out 200 yards and jig and another can walk 1.5 miles up the lake pulling a couple sleds full of stuff and put in tip-ups and one is lazy? Lets just fish, who care how as long as legal and respectful. Enjoy!!!

As far as real estate problems, we should feel fortunate not Many vt anglers have set up on our waters. I've seen where they drill out an acre or 2 in a grid pattern. They set up about 30-40 tip downs locking down a huge section. They then will choose what ones they want to use for the day. Leaving 8 set and the rest holding the spot they want. These tip downs stay out all season. A serious hazard to night snowmobiles. I try to be respectful and give proper distance, however tip ups over a perch bed don't stop me from first asking if it's cool to fish the area, and then fishing it, regardless of the answer. I think it's great that we are allowed 7 devices, bummer we are losing a line in the water but I never liked leaving a jig rod out. Makes me nervous thinking the drag will freeze up and good by rod and reel.

+1.  Only here can you get a new regulation meant to make rules and interpretations easier and still get this many questions.  And have some people somehow think 7 lines is more than 5 tipups plus 3 hand lines.

Great idea, DEC!

i for one  hope they end  this silly 7  any line law  right now.....  for  years  here on ice  shanty  those of  us  smart enough to read the  rules have had  to attempt  to explain  to those that can't  what is a tip up and  what is  not!  now  were going to have  to  start all over !

now  all you  tip up  guys    you are actually losing a  rod!  your  not making out   with the  5  tip up rule  and  "3"  hand  lines  i  use   a couple bucket  rod holders   to set up  a  few  rods   open the  bales  and hook a   bobber as a  flag ... oh  my read the  rules   this gave  me "8"  lines  ....now  you  will only have  7 again

I don't think 1 line will make much of a difference in what I bring home... Unfortunately. 

Simplifying the rules is always good IMO.

Im not sure where I read it ..but Im pretty sure a high capacity rig capable of accommodating 15 hooks might be considered an assault fishing rig...Check it out before you try to use it , They might have to be registered.  Ill tell you right now...Im not registering mine!
