Location: Sawyer County, WI | The response you received on the other forum where you asked the question is probably the most accurate response you'll get as it is allegedly from somebody in the know. Allegedly... |

Location: NE Wisconsin | I was at the Executive Comm. meeting this afternoon of the Conservation Congress. Kate from the Bureau of Fisheries told us the new WI trolling reg will take effect July 1st. One line per angler and a max of two per boat in Vilas and Oneida and few other counties, rest will be three lines per angler. Sure you will be seeing more on this very soon. The last legislative comm. to have a shot at it didn't respond in their thirty day time period.

Location: Eastern Ontario | Fill the cups with cod liver oil and every time you pull your lures to move or check for weeds dip them in the oil. |

| People can still row troll if they would like to however some of us can not afford an entire new boat setup for one specific type of fishing. I for one like the propose regulations. |

the sport is effectively been pussified ... progress? nah ... more like the ez-button.
Planer boards and rod holders are already in hand. I have yet to install the cup holders and I'm going to shop for a portable bar I can use in the boat. I don't have any 3XL sweat pants yet but I'm sure it will take a few months to acquire the trolling pear shape so I've got time.
Accentuate the positive Sled. If you collect all the floating aluminum cans you see this summer you can probably pay for a tank or two of gas. |

Location: oswego, il | Row trolling a.tradition brought forth illegal motor trolling. It is a choice, I do not see it dying. I still see people oar position to cast up north. Having said that, the defibrillator is looking mighty useful in that first aid kit.

Yes we ought to get rid of your glass boats and go back to a wood boat, get rid of the outboard and trolling motor and get out the oars, get rid of your graphs and get out the depth bombs, etc etc because that is pussifing the sport. All that makes it an ez button. |

How about a mount for the potato cannon? |

Location: 31 | BOUT TIME, nothing is stopping anyone from continuing a tradition. Row trollers will (with the latest high-tech electronics and other equipment) still be able to do their thing… with 3 rods.
However, if you consider it's roots the “no motor trolling tradition” was only started as way to circumvent the motor trolling ban (IMHO).

Location: Eastern Ontario | I've been fishing muskies since mid 80's and bass before that. At one time I could put in a lot of 14 hour days casting but that's no longer in 72 year old back and shoulders nor is rowing. If I was restricted to casting my fishing would be done but with a bit of luck I may have a couple of years left. Over the years it always seemed to me I could find and catch more fish casting but bigger fish trolling. I still enjoy a bit of casting but only in very short sessions at last light. I will probably never troll in Wisconsin but then again why would I leave Yankee Stadium. |
