Location: Orland Park | Just read this in the Tribune this morning:
Tip of the Week:
New Regulation for 2003....."All live bait in excess of 8 inches in total length shall be rigged with a quick set rig. The hook shall be immediately set upon the strike. A quick set rig is defined as follows: a live bait rig with up to 2 treble hooks attached anywhere on the live bait; single hooks are PROHIBITED. This rule does not apply to trot lines, jug lines, etc., if allowed on the lake."
Take some notes, Wisconsin.

I was actually being sarcastic about the size limit. I know many sizeable lakes with muskie have 48" limits here in the flatlands. Now if you were also being sarcastic, then i suck. |
