Recommended Change #5: Require that yo-yo's must be attended during all hours (day and night).
Justification:
This regulation would prohibit yo-yo’s from being left unattended. Currently, yo-yo’s can be left unattended (out of sight and/or sound of the angler) at night only and must be attended during daylight hours. Some misinterpretation of the attended requirement as led to difficulty enforcing this regulation, therefore this change would also define 'unattended'.
The regulation would read: A yo-yo or other mechanical fishing devices shall be deemed unattended when the user cannot be immediately located for identification therewith without leaving the location of the yo-yo or mechanical fishing device".
Code Change: 26.21
Recommended Change #6: Require that trotlines and limblines be checked every 48 hours and removed when not in use.
