on going fuss

bout wether "umbrella" rigs are legal for crappie in the corp lakes? Any info. Thanks....lunch is the bet on this one.

I believe they are illegal on the big 4.

If you have more than two hooks, it's illegal.

The information I have been able to find states they are illegal on all of the corp lakes and their spillways.

just what feelay said

feelay is right, no more than 2 hooks per pole.

Alabama Rigs /Umbrella rigs

Here is the State law is on the use of Alabama rigs or umbrella rigs in Mississippi.

Is the Alabama Rig legal to fish in Mississippi?

The Alabama Rig is legal to use in almost all public waters in Mississippi. The exceptions are the following, where anglers are restricted to by the number of lures and/or hooks per pole that can be used:

• Grenada, Arkabutla, Sardis, and Enid Lakes
• Spillways of Ross Barnett and Okatibbee Reservoirs
• Spillways of Grenada, Enid, Sardis, and Arkabutla Lakes from spillway outlets to the end of the riprap
• Bluff Lake spillway in Noxubee County
• Lowhead dam on Ross Barnett Reservoir from the dam to the end of the Idle Speed Only/No Wake Zone area downstream of the dam.

The Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig is legal to fish everywhere else in Mississippi.

I'm going to get pictures of Bobby fishing on Beulah. He has 20 ft BnM black widows with 10 hooks on each one. He puts out 20 poles around his boat , thats 200 minners just to bait up. He catches a lot of fish but is funny to watch

Boy if he ever gets tangled. OUCH
