TPWD Taking Public Comment on Proposed Regulation Changes for Trotlines and Other Rel

[Texas Grown]

Has anybody seen this? This also includes perch traps, jug lines, minnow traps, hand lines, and other fishing devices. I keep my lines dated as per current law. But setting a main line on a trot-line for just 4 days just don't seem long enough. And I remove my hooks & leaders from the main line when done before leaving the main line for the following weekend. And pull them when I'm done with an area for a while.



Same goes for perch traps. Sometimes they take a few days to get started in some places. 4 days just isn't long enough in some places.



I've also got no problem with TP&W removing lines and equipment that are not dated properly. Or tended to. Course if you tend your lines, your gonna date them, right?

TG, I'd be more for yo-yos/limb-lines rather than trotlines, durn things are a nuisance.

The fish are biting, and there's hogs to be kilt. Gotta go!

Back when I was diving these mud holes we call lakes, there was nothing worse than getting caught up in an old trotline. Happened several times.

I spoke against the requirement for floats. If you think you have problems with others running your lines now, just wait until they have a beacon attached to them. I don't really care about the number of days because we never leave ours out more than 12-16 hours.
