[quote lonehunter]I just looked at the website and he has a couple scanned copies of the letters he recived .
I think i'll do a follow up contact and see what the DNR's position is .
I think the legalised the drop shot method for those guys that fish the surf during the salmon runs .
I think I did hear about that salmon fishing website pushing for it a few years ago .[/quote]
They will gladly talk to you. At least the did me.
I had a great experience talking to both the Michigan DNR Enforcement Unit, and The Michigan Attorney Generals Office, they were very helpful clearing up my questions about rc fishing. I had always liked the idea of using a rc boat to fish.
The law, (Opinion #7222) said:
[#ff0000]RC Boats pulling in the fish is not legal in Michigan![/#ff0000]
[#0000bf]BUT WHAT IF THE RC BOAT JUST DRIVES OUT THE FISHING LINE THEN DISCONNECTS WHEN A FISH HITS?[/#0000bf]
NOT AGAINST THE LAW IF:
1. The RC Boat is used to attach the line from your fishing pole.
2. The line disconnects from the RC Boat. By a tug from your fishing pole, or a fish.
AGAINST THE LAW IF:
1. The fishing line is TIED,attached to the RC Boat.
2. The RC Boat is used to pull in the fish.
[#ff0000]There is One Exception:
IF YOU ARE FISHING ON A PRIVATE POND, LAKE. Then you CAN use a RC Boat to pull in the fish too.[/#ff0000]
[#ff0000][/#ff0000]
Bottom line in MICHIGAN if you're going to fish with rc boats.........Don't use the rc boat to pull in the fish, use it the other way![fishin]
