boat limit while trolling
If I am reading and understanding all this correctly, while trolling say you have 4 men on the boat and 15 fish in the box, it would seem that it would be illegal to have more than 2 lines out, is this correct? If 14 fish in the box only 4 lines out?
And as Lowe Life stated, are the officers actually gonna believe you are trolling for Sheephead? Its logical to some extent, but all these grey areas on the law, just as the new fish cleaning law, seem to leave me more confused and worried even though I do nothing wrong. It kinda makes a rather enjoyable time on the water more nerve racking and filled with anxiety over whether you are in total compliance with new, unclear laws.Wellcraft 3200 Coastal T-454s

Just read the article from the link
and a guy on another popular site mentioned the fact that the wildlife officer mentioned snagging was happening also. but this was the first I heard of that snagging. like they said over thier if thats what happend then it is their own fault. you brought it on yourself now deal with it. the crew had to know it was happening because they net the fish and have had to allowed it. years ago before I had my own boat i fished alot on the party boats, the crew would always over see me catching and or throwing back fish and keeping count of them. so they had to know, it's bs and many ranted including me to only find out there was more to the story

Yep if an officer wants to push the subject. But I doubt you'll see it strickly enforced unless someone complains and makes it a big issue. I sure hope not.
