seems like some have an obsession with trotlines ... i understand gettin' an old line tangled in a prop ain't no fun ... & now it seems that catfish that have gotten themselves hooked on a trotline are fair game to the first person that gets to them and puts them in the boat
sometimes it's a pain in the neck to motivate about in a boat, keeping in mind that you are not the only turtle in the tank (old saying) ... everybody else has as much right to be on the lake & fishing in what ever legal manner they see fit to fish
i do my best to respect other folks stuff & if i see a line i avoid it without a second thought ... it's none of my business nor my job to see if it is legal or not
to me it is just as unethical to go about meddleing with folks private property & business as it would be to set illegal lines or abandon legal lines to they point they become illegal
or God forbid some feller leaves his line out and a few fish hang on there a few days ... then some bleedin' heart busibody starts cryin' about it "OH THOSE POOR FISH ARE GONNA DIE" ... the fact that the busibody knows the fish are on the line is far more unethical than the fish being left on the line
makes me wonder how some of ya'lls folks raised you

Mine taught me to respect wildlife and leaving fish on a hook for a few days is NOT right. Is the way you were raised to just leave um there till the wind dies down or you FEEL like runnin them ?? Were you raised by wolves??

agreed, and i am tired of the trotline obsesions also. but do not question how people are raised. you sound like a liberal, maybe you or the govt should get involved in in parenting classes, since you know so much about fishing

I was raised old school. I run my trotlines or juglines every two hours. When I finished my trip, they go home with me. I was also taught this is a good family time. In between running lines, we would play horse shoes, 42, barbeque, baseball and just be a family. If I ever find out my kids left a trotline or jugline, I'll spank their butts! That's how my dad raised me. I hate seeing a trotline or jugline left behind. We share the lake or rivers. It's not a question of how you were raised, it's just good sportsmanship. Respect the other fisherman. Plan and simple. ![cheers cheers](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif)

Well said Zee a lot of people need their butts spanked!!I catch all the fish my family needs without leaving anything on the lake. I guess people that leave their stuff are either LAZY,selling fish, or need to learn how to fish. If theres another reason PLEASE tell me??

As long as the person changes the date every 30 days, then he/she is legal and can keep them there indefinitely. If you are checking a trotline for a tag and it aint yours, you are messing with personal property. I was raised to not mess with someone elses stuff. Most people I know will get physical, if need be, with nosey people. If you want to be nosey, legally, then apply to become a game warden. Until then, mind your own business.

I guess those are the reasons. I do respect other peoples stuff I have NEVER been close enough to tell if a trot line is leagal or not if I see one I go somewhere else period. on the other hand I HAVE ROLLED UP SOME CLEAR PLASTIC JUGS ON wHITNEY AND LAKE WACO AND WILL AGAIN WHENEVER I SEE THEM THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND HARD TO SEE.I HAVE NEVER BEEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO A WHITE JUG TO SEE IF IT EVEN HAD A NAME ON IT. CALL ME A DO GOODER OR WHATEVER. FOR THE LIFE OF ME JUST CANT SEE ANY REASON TO LEAVE A FISH ON A LINE FOR 2 OR 3 OR MORE DAYS.GUESS I WAS JUST TAUGHT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF RESPECT

CALL ME A DO GOODER OR WHATEVER. FOR THE LIFE OF ME JUST CANT SEE ANY REASON TO LEAVE A FISH ON A LINE FOR 2 OR 3 OR MORE DAYS.GUESS I WAS JUST TAUGHT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF RESPECT until the last couple of years (on this board) i never heard of anybody advocating "YOU MUST TAKE YOUR LINES WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO" ... & if you don't take'um with you you are a lazy low life i started trotlining with my dad when i was just a pup ... EVERYBODY set their lines to be almost permanant ... these lines were checked & rebaited as often as possible but most times not everyday ... that is just trotlining & was the way everybody did it that i knew ... opus you calling these folks lazy is a little far fetched & kinda makes me wonder if you hate trotliners cuz like i said "this is just trotlining"
