Okey Doke. . . Ive gotta ask a question. Its a serious question, and Ive wanted to ask it for a while. Ive heard various answers. Here it is. . . Is it legal to put out Man Made Fish Attractors in public lakes?

If its legal, Im ready to get started. If it is not, do ya have to go out in the dark of night to deploy them? I am led to believe it is legal by how openly it is discussed here on the TFF.

Sorry for this question, but as the crook responded to Dirty Harry. . . I gots to know!

It is definitely NOT legal in most situations, especially Corp lakes.
Every lake has some government entity that controls it. You would need to check with each one of those on each lake to be sure.
All that being said, I would say MOST crappie guys (and Game Wardens alike) see the benefit outweighing the technical lawbreaking of it. "IF" it's done right (enough weight and in the right places), the vast majority of brush piles and condos will have nothing but a positive impact on the lake and fishery they go into.
And yes, many folks will covertly drop them at night, early morning, or late evening to avoid being seen.
My 2cents ....

We just meet with Wright Patman Lake Corps Engineers to entry in to a Partnership to put Fish Attractors, now just have to see if they will do it.
They will be just like the 270 made and put in Lake O' the Pines in 2017 Nov, Dec and Jan 2018, we have taken more than 700 crappie off them.

Well. . . That clears that up. Thanks for straight answers. It was just a bit confusing, as the topic of building and deploying them is so prevalent on the forum.

Thanks folks!
