keep the weights from the trot lines if they are window weights, they are going for $2-5 each.

personally i would find it hard to take someone else's property like the yo yo's even though they may not have the owner's name on them. i might cut the hook off so no one would get hurt by them but to take something someone else paid for i would have to leave it alone.
Ain't supposed to be there anyway! Cut'em down. Lake Conway is usually full of yo-yo's the locals hang and leave all season long! Wish Mr. Greenjeans would swing through there more often!
You dont have to take it, cut it and let er sink if its a yoyo.Quote:

maybe you cm, but not me. maybe we are cut from a differnt cloth but i won't bother another's stuff. yo yo's are legal to use although i've never used nor owned one. cutting and sinking would be destroying others property. that, to me, would boil down to not respecting others.
Game warden on Midway a few years ago told me to cut em all down and pull out all old lines if thee weren't tagged. don't leave in water. Roll up trot lines cut down old yo-yo's and throw in trash. Used to have a lot of out of towners camp there and put the stuff out then just leave it there. Left the yo-yo's at store so if someone came in complaining they could claim them.
I see your point. I enjoy running yo-yos from time to time and would be upset if someone cut mine down. But I never give them the chance because I obey the law and remove them when I am done. If they want to keep them, they would put in the extra work necessary to do so.

I respect your opinion and understand taking something that another person bought is wrong, but look at it in this light! No different than picking up a soda can off the sidewalk. People enjoy walking it so keep it clean.
Cut em, warden would and would recommend you to also. The cotton line tied on the end helped but sucked for those of us that use trotlines as it wasn't practical. I don't have to worry about the cotton breaking cause I'm not leaving them out long enough to lose em.
Good idea for tags if anyone's interested it to cut up milk cartons and use a perm. marker to name, addy and phone# them. Right before I tie the line off I punch a hole in the plastic tag i've pre-made and run the line through it double where it won't slip on down. Labeling them makes it tougher but if not labeled you get a buncha old lines left out by who know's who.
