    Default Illegal to use trolling rigs?

    Help me out here.
    Did I read the reg's right, I can't use my trolling rig on the big four in Ms?
    And I have to wear my life vest at all times on those lakes also?

    Trolling rigs are legal as long as you don't exceed the pole limit. Click here for the life jacket regs. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/missi...et-policy.html

    Also, I believe you are limited to two baits/lures per line.
    I got 350 heads on a 305 engine.
    I get 6 miles to the gallon.
    I aint got no good intentions.

    If your boat is shorter than 16' you have to wear a pfd at all times. You can troll 5 poles per person, 2 baits per line, except Grenada where it is 3 poles per person.

    Yeah, but that's only for Arkabutla, Sardis, Enid and Grenada. Don't think there's a pole restriction for non COE lakes. Hmmmm, come to think of it, I don't think the life jacket applies to non COE lakes either. Not sure about that.

    Technically, the life jacket deal is a rule, not a law......yet, but I'm sure it will be soon.

    Personally, I think it's a good law/rule/whatever BTW...except where they tried to enforce it originally, then backed off, while idleing/trolling. When I'm king, anything above and idle for boats under 24 ft, you will be required to have a life jacket on at all times.
