| Does that count as fishing? It would be nice to be able to follow their movements through the change of seasons, starting from the beginning.
That and my panfish rig feels like a fairy wand right now... |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | THEORETICALLY, you could reel a fish in that was just holding onto a bait, without hooks. Just like dragging a sucker around without hooks is still fishing...and there are guys/gals out there that fish suckers in this manner. So yes, I would imagine you would still be breaking the law.
Time for some scuba gear! |

Location: deephaven mn | I do believe the season is set up as not to bother the fish during their spawning process. And by doing this it gives fish a chance to reproduce and create a better fishery so you as an angler will benefit. |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
In all due respect, if you have to ask about it....I think you may have answered your own question...
If you want to go view some of the movements, grab a canoe or kayak and enjoy cruising the shallows a bit.

| If you refuse to fish for anything but muskies, you are missing out on a ton of great opportunities out there. |

| Warden wise I suppose it depends on their sense of humor! Ours is VERY good and would haul us in if we tried it lol! Stopped us three times last year... upset why my husband after ran truck plates DID have lisence just under marriage deal lol! Stopped us snowmobiling and grouse hunting BUSY guy.... oh and checked to see if baiting deer. No tickets and never ticked him off and we are legal....but he checks everyone for anything and never warns only tickets. BTW talking St. Louis Co yes Vermilion should be jurisdiction. |

| Never seen him IN a boat so pretty safe... likes running around in the truck. Vermilion guys are pretty nice that ran into on the water. Never had any issues. |

Location: oswego, il | Been stopped a few times on vermillion, most of the time nice. Did get a 100 dollar ticket for being one life vest short, just plain forgot to put it in the boat that evening. No sense of humor with those guys, they said they heard muskies were good smoked and did not laugh when I said they were too hard to keep lit. Asked if anyone was keeping bass and they passed every boat on the way to my resort to do a cabin to cabin search. Then they just stayed at the bar untill midnight. |

Location: Land of the Musky | Best bet is to call the DNR. I call mine with any DNR Qs and they appreciate it. This is all for deer hunting and other gun related issues but I am sure they are just as good with fishing Qs  I like knowing my DNR agents in my area. Helps when they know you are active in knowing the regulations and call them first with any Qs. JMO

Location: oswego, il | Yep, I went straight back to the cabin to get another life vest, I had my small boat at the time, they beat me by at least 10 minutes and they were already in someone's cabin. They past every boat they would have checked to get there. They asked me if anyone was keeping bass, I said yes and that was it. They looked alarmed and made a beeline. |
