Yup, racist discrimination... We're just to cold for them.
So I can go deer hunting with a rifle, shotgun, pistol , flintlock, inline muzzleloader, bow and arrow , crossbow . Hunt Coyote with an AK, bazooka basically anything. Get as many doe licences as I can get. Yet can['t use a basically primitive fishing device that keeps fish from swallowing the hook that I am going to release anyway
If anyone gets a citation for using a self-hooking device in PA they should post it on tis site. We could band together and have a class action lawsuit. Otherwise I would not bother asking the fish commission. They may get a bug-up-their-ass and change the regulation. If I see a fish warden coming, I"m going to disengage the devices and tell him they are dead sticks.
They feel unfair advantage i figure. I also agree why is trolling legal? It hooks the fish?
Years back there was something listed in the book about devices that hooked the fish not being approved devices. It is no longer in the book, not sure when it disappeared but thinking when the book became a magazine with Ads. Back in 2010 when JJ came out I asked the PFBC about them ... at that time I was told they were legal... Sadly I no longer have that E-mail. Not sure if it was lost when one of my older computers died or if I screwed up and deleted it. I did a half hearted search of my old posts to see if I put it on one of them but no luck so far.... will keep looking.
Who pays the Fish and Boat Commission? The fisherman do. So why are you guys complying to some bureaucrats wins? I not paying $60 per jawjackerwhen make 3 of them for that price. I hope the fish warden stops me and fines me. The warden has no law to stand on and I am win I will sue the Pennsylvania fish and Boat Commission in court for false arrest. Stop acting like boot licking slaves.and start acting like free Americans. Man I can tell of you boys are boot licking Republicans. Free men don't boot lick some bureaucrat and they voted Libertarian!
Since this is going down hill fast, I'll help it on its way.Me, I just hook the fish myself, like a man--don't need any help.
Fishing this last Saturday, had one jaw jacker hole produce 6 trout. Most were hooked in the upper lip, a couple enough that I had to use pliers to get the hook out. So far this was the best luck I have had with Jaw Jackers to date, was just the right day and right bait I guess. No problem using them here in Idaho, but hey its Idaho this is where they come from.
Did you use just the original JJ setup or did you have the motorized jig attachment on them? I am leaning towards buying a couple of these next season. I've spent too much already tis year!
I just purchased 2 jawjackers to use this season. I read the response to ruttnut. In NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM is the commission CORRECT! If you cannot PRODUCE a list of illegal methods, then why should I concede? Sounds more like LEGAL EXTORTION to fine you. The HYPOCRITES are saying “do what I say, but I can’t produce a legit document “. Nope! Not gunna happen with me. It’s time for people to MAKE A STAND!! Come fine me, see what happens. No political affiliation here. PATRIOTS STAND UP TO TYRANNY
When i pull the tip up out of the hole I decide when to set the hook ,( only me). I don't want the device to fish for me . The thrill of setting the hook would be gone.
