I've searched the Florida fish and game site and can't figure it out. The question is, can I put 3 jigs on one line? I know many people including myself use double rigs, but are triple rigs illegal. Just asking, partly cause I need all the help and hooks and jigs I can use on the lake I refer to as the Dead Sea! Griffin! Lol
My understanding is up to 25 is legal. Though, from my experimenting more than doubles are less effective. Less action and a lot of drag in the water longlining. Works better spider rigging.
how many u had tonite? [emoji61]Quote:

You can use as many as you want to. Usually 2 jigs per pole only applies to tournaments. Longlining doubles can get pretty hectic and I don't even want to attempt anymore than 2....But I aint a Guber:Rofl
You can use unlimited number or jigs - hooks per rod, same as number of rods is unlimited - its what is practical
for your use and any one time.....................
Lots of state restrict a person to number of rods -number of baits per rod etc. Florida has no restriction.
I have pulled triples and it is a pain in the arse. When I did i found best to run with a 1/16oz up top and next a 1/32oz middle and followed by a gnat type bait. But lots more tangles.
Thanks all. I think I'll pull a couple 25 hook trot lines with jigs. Maybe I'll snag something! Might be the only way I can catch something here on Griffin! lol, and j/k
Thanks all. I was just curious. Yeah, anything over 2 jigs would prolly be a pita.
fish in another lake.
I hear you, but it's just too darn convenient when you live right on the water. I don't fish for meat anyway, I fish for pics. Really just need one good fish a trip! lolQuote:

You just need to use one jig if you use the right one Attachment 235509
If you need some you can get them from this guy Attachment 235510
I need to get those in the crappie.com store. Lol
those are great. Thanks for sharing.
Griffin will come back - the 10 inch limit i belive is now on 4 yr........should have put it into action 7-8 yrs
ago - same as dora - carleton & Bau-Clair
Something not right on them lakes. The feeder creeks and canals have nice dark tannin stained clear water, the lakes look like pea soup? Even the canal CG1 lives on, about a hundred yards or so from the lake it turns clear black tannin stained, much nicer than the lakes. Noticed the same fishing Griffin last time, and the fish we did catch were in the canals.
Has anyone talked with FWC about this?
Of Coarse we could have another case of cross mangement FWS & Army Corp of Engineers ? One trying to promote
fishery and other trying to kill it.......
Check with Litewire. I suspect he would suggest tying on 50 jigs on one line!:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl:RoflQuote:

They are out there "surveying" the heck out of the fishermen on Griffin all the time. And when they do survey me, I tell them they need to do something, like stock the lake to help the population. The thing is, I see tons more bait balls on other lakes. I see very few on Griffin. No bait = no food = no fat Crappie = poorer spawns I suppose. The fish I see caught on every other lake here in Florida are nice and fat. Griffin are all on a diet. They are anemic. I think it's more a GATOR/GAR HOLE! Always see lots of those. I thought it was on a come back. Last year was the best year I've seen since I've been here, but this year is turning out to be the worst I've seen.Quote:

Very cool SR. Got to try that. Thanks for sharing. I think I had an Oscar in one of my aquariums at some point. I've always been an aquarium guy, had tons of different kinds of Cichlids over the years.Quote:
