Shawdawg-- That's the way I read the regs when I tried a setline last year. I set it up and left it overnight. Where the regs say "You must be within 100 yds of the shore" I thought it meant the setline must be within 100 yards from shore and I could not see any set time to check lines.?
I called the Springville DWR office today and asked for clarification. They told me the fisherman must be within 100 yards of the setline at all times and it was not legal to leave a line out over night?? Seems like the more I look into it the fuzzier it gets so I'll just stick to a stick.
Another one that I think could get you a citation is snagging carp. I see this going on all the time. The regs say it is illegal to snag and there is no distinction between game fish and non game?
Again, I'll just stick to a stick -- and I can't wait to get started. Ice go away!!
