Burns me up when im out there with a fishing pole trying to earn a honest living... and a trot Line, limb line, or YOYO hooks me up when im trying to fish. I wonder if the AGFC ever comes out and takes a good look at thier Flagship Lake and say "You Know what we need to do something about all these Trot Lines, Jugs, YoYO's, Limb Lines hanging from all these beautiful Cypress trees." Cracks me up Every time Iv'e seen a game Warden on Conway he is out to give somebody fishing with a fishing pole a ticket. Not one darn time have I ever seen the AGFC checking and cutting down an unused YOYO's or old line from a tree or stump. OR even checking to see if they are properly marked OUT LAW THEM and will all have a better lake to fish.
Totally agree! But i grew up yo-yoing and trot lining and still enjoy it from time to time. Especially at night when i dont feel like battling the heat pole fishing. The only difference is, i spend at LEAST two hours every trip setting up and taking down, so it burns me up when i'm pole fishing and i pull up to a tree that looks really good just to see a limb line or trot line that i have to fish around, or get hung up in, just because someone was too lazy to put in the work to take it down. I hope they dont outlaw them, but I think they should definitely be regulated.
