Clarification on multi-hook rigs?? Need help please....

[SpurHunter]

I am un-clear on what the law states on using 2, 3, or 4 jigs on a single line (pole) for gamefish. If it pertains to baitfish like skipjacks, I need to know this also. </p>

I have been told that using 3 crappie jigs targeting crappie is in violation, but cant seem to find that information in the regs. I did this once while "attempting" to troll for them, but never caught the first fish.

</p>

Doens anyone know for sure on this subject? Thanks!</p>

It is under the umbrella rig restrictions on page 10 of the 2008 fishing guide. If the hook size is 6 or larger then only one hook may be used.

Thanks Steve!</p>

I had seen that part, but I am not sure what size hook is on a 1/32 oz or similar jig-head. I better not use multipes untill I find out for sure. </p>

Skipjack herring aren't considerd game fish........

I just did a search of the pdf version of the 2008 regs, and there is not a list or straight forward definition of a game fish or non-game fish, but you can get a hint as to wether a fish is game or non-game based on exceptions on the methods in fishing.
