Posts: 335 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. Edited by Commanche Jim 11/2/2003 1:02 PM | ||

Posts: 642 Location: mount prospect illinois | JohnMD: 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. | ||
