This change is proposed, let me find the link on the DEC website that discusses this...
I am not a fan. Take take take........more lines more fish jeepers. I hate picking up 5 at the end of the day to be honest.
My opinion is thats too much area for 1 fisherman to take up,if you have 3 or 4 guys on a small pond you can cover practically the whole ice surface,a very bad regulation IMHO! >:(I can catch a limit with 1 rod and no electronics,you have to move to keep up with the fish.The lazy fishermen are really the winners on this one.I guess I'll have to get out early and set my dummy tipups around me to have some room to fish,can see the fistfights breaking out now over guys protecting their territory,BADBAD REGULATION!!!!!!!!!!! I said it again FN
Really!!! the lazy fishermen? So your saying that guys that use tip ups to fish for species that don't readily hit a jig or spoon are lazy? That's quite a bold statement! I'm sure you've offended half the guys on this site. I'm glad your such an expert that you only need one rod and no electronics, BIG pat on the back for you!!! Lets see you catch a salmon or a 25lb pike with that. Most guys that fish tip ups usually have a couple hand lines anyway, so this really is not going to take up any more space than guys are already using, not to mention the fact that, as I pointed out in a previous post, its actually cutting out one whole line.
when is this law put into use? next year? this year?

I said it again LAZY FISHERMAN? What a crock! A successful tip up fisherman gets to his spot early, drills many holes, and hole hops and moves when hes not getting anything. Add hole cleaning and upkeep and checking your bait often and you have a full day. Dude, stop sitting on your brain and think before you open your piehole. FN
