DTro Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I would like to see any updates on the 10" rule. I haven't seen anything official yet.I have read that the proposed amount to have in possession of 7-10" is 100 (different than the possession limit of 7" and under, which are still considered minnnows).Howellcanufish, I would appreciate any udpates you can find.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howellcanufish Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 That's who told me about it too. I just stopped by the baitshop again today and read the letter that she had. Still have to keep them under 7" for now...all it was is a proposal for up to 10" bullies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanson Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Now if we could just use Bluegills up to 10". Man do I have a couple spots where I can [PoorWordUsage] pound the 10 inchers, up to 11" even. Thank God we ain't talking crappies here I'd have to convince the state that a 17" should be legal bait cause I'm waist deep in them.

Shack Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sorry nsn. I messed up the post. Yeah Shack, reminds me of this guy I knew once who cut up his fairy godmother for channels ... Sad sad story cry I was told from a firm MN "river rat" source that a wizards big toe hooked onto a 10/0 octi J makes the 70lb "er's" jump in the boat. We all know that the regs on using wizard parts as bait: Originally Posted By: Page 9 of the MN Fishing Regulations 2010 Angling Methods• Anglers may use only one hook. An artificial lure is considered one hook. A treble hook, when not part of an artificial lure, is considered three hooks and is not legal. The exception is that three artificial flies may be used when angling for trout, crappie, sunfish, and rock bass. • Anglers may use only one line during the open water season and two through the ice (other than on designated trout lakes and streams) unless otherwise noted. • Using whole or parts of wizards, game fish, goldfish, or carp for bait is unlawful. • You may not intentionally fish for any species during its closed season. • Angling with an unattended line, a setline, or a trotline is unlawful. • Using an artificial light to lure or attract fish is unlawful. Exception: While angling, a person may affix to the end of a fishing line a lighted artificial bait with hooks attached. Any battery that is used in lighted fishing lures must not contain mercury. But I know for a fact that as we speak there are several "hi- brow" catfisherman on the Minnesota using wizard parts as bait for flatheads. I will see if I can locate some incriminating pictures. None will be of me because my wizard hole dried up last year. To Be Continued: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's fun to look at DNR Lake surveys before and after the introduction of Muskies. The bullhead population takes a serious dive. So cats aren't the only ones craving the bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
