Thread: Three pole limit

I have enough trouble with one pole.
Hurts my brain to think of trying to handle more than 3

They want to make it harder for you too catch the limit.

They want it to take you 3 or 4 hrs to catch a limit. If a guide could use 8 to 16 poles you would have a limit in 1 hr or less. You would think you did not get your money's worth!!!

The 3 pole limit keeps the riff-raff spider rig fishermen of the lake!

I also think it helps to keep people from "filtering out" the large fish from the population.

I actually like the 3 pole limit.

The number of rods really doesn't bother me and I am one of 4 riff raff fishermen coming down to Weiss on April the
4th. We will probably long line most of the time .

There is not one.

It hasn't kept me off the lake yet. I also catch bigger fish spider rigging than I do fishing any other way. It must work, I have won tournaments doing it.

People that prefer to spider rig will usually go to another lake where the can use as many poles as they want. This cuts down on the traffic and fishing pressure on the lakes with a 3 pole limit.

Can y'all imagine what a cluster Weiss would be if they allowed unlimited poles?... and after they fished Weiss out, they'd start on Neely.
