For the guys who approve of the two lines:1) Do you honestly think it will not increase harvest?
2) Depending on your answer, do you think limits should be adjusted then?
Limits in MN should be adjusted irregardless of whether we’re allowed to use 2 lines, 10 lines, or 1 line. 3 or 4 <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>walleye with 1 over 20″, 5 or 10 bluegill with 1 over 9″, 5-10 crappie with 1 over 14″, etc. So many lakes with the potential for not only trophy <em class=”ido-tag-em”>panfish and bass, but numbers too, but sadly we’d have to legislate to reduce harvest of fish because there’s still too many out there that scoff at selective harvest and just want to pile for the social media pics and freezer burn.
I think there’s plenty of support from minnesotans to use 2 lines…every MN tagged boat I see out here in SD whether it’s glacial lakes or on the missouri river, all of those guys have no problem using 2 lines as allowed here. Personally, I’d likely never run 2 lines when bobber fishing bluegills or occasionally for walleyes, but for moving presentations, cranks or bottom bouncers, I’ll run 2 lines all day if allowed.
So basically you are agreeing with me then. Increase the number of lines allowed while keeping limits the same would be a bad idea.
