Is this Legal in MN?

[Rikkus]

I have been cruising YouTube, getting excited about the upcoming season. I enjoy the fishing videos and love the tips. I came across one where the guys are fishing white fish in WI. But their technique of using a flashy spoon at the end of their line, with a smaller jig further up the line, doesn't seem legal. I read the MN Fishing Regs, pages 12 & 17 & this appears to confirm my thoughts. Here is the video.

Is this legal in MN?

Jeff Sundin Tips include having one rod setup with a flashy spoon to draw in the Tulibee. Once you start seeing the red marks, switch to another rod setup with a smaller jig. (I'm doing what the expert advices.)

Another question: What is the Limit on Winnie for Tulibee?

According to the MN Fishing Regs, Unlimited, except for the Leech Lake Res. Winnie is close to this area. Is the limit 25 or unlimited?

If they each have hooks, they can be within 9" to become a legal "Lure" USE this advice at your descretion. Not all CO's think alike.

Also, in MN you can use 2 lines, which means you could put two hooks on a single line.

ok, let the debate begin. BTW, my advice came from a CO telling me that i can have two jigs tied within 9" and still be counted as a single line and 1 lure...I've also been told my many on here that they believe otherwise...So...if you use 1 line and 2 hooks during ice season you'll be golden. If you do this with two rods, you might get a ticket from 50% of the CO's.

I've heard something similar, and wanted to try. Using a lure with no hooks in to attract fish. In particular, I asked about jigging a spoon with no hooks to draw in pike to my tip ups, but I never got a clear answer.

Thanks T'Walleye,... Apparently, this must be okay. I would only be fishing the one line and watching my underwater camera. Playing two sticks, one with the flashy spoon, one with the smaller jig could be a bit of a challenge. Adding the Tulibee Fishing to our Annual Winnie Ice Fishing Trip is creating some excitement among the troops. Years back, We had a school come through on one of our outings. It was one heck of a time. You definitely had to play the Vex to catch 'em.

Remove some old rusty hooks fron an old fashioned daredevil, break a small mirror in small pieces, expoxy them on it, and jig away with some big rips. The vibration and flash will attract tullies like flies to a cow pie

Pushbutton-

When you do that with a daredevil do you put a dropper rig on there with a small jig to catch them, or do you just draw them in with the daredevil and then put down a jig on another pole?

[pushbutton]

The daredevil thingy would be just to draw them in......no hooks on it. Usually do that when bored in a perm on a lake that has a good population of them. Do do the same thing with a 1/16 flyer for both a call in and fish with set up. If the fish are finicky .... for sure add a dropper. If it a gangbusters free for all, it really does not matter what you use.

You can have up to 3 hooks on a single line but from the first hook to the last they must be within 9" of each other...except on designated trout lakes/streams
