Yo-Yo Automatic Fishing Reels
I go paddling a couple of times a month in sal****er bays in California.
Have a fishing license and would like to mount a couple of these directly onto my plastic kayak. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/produ...4#BVQAWidgetID If I mount it with a screw - am I legal? California forbids "mousetrap" gear that is not attached to a person or vessel. (DFG 28.65 f) Section 28.65 (f ) Mousetrap gear prohibited: It is unlawful to use, assist in using, or to possess aboard any vessel, hook-and-line gear commonly termed “mouse traps” constructed of a hook(s) or lure(s), attached to one end of a line that is attached to a float, or floats at the other end, and that when fished, is not attached directly to a person or vessel. Possession of such gear aboard a vessel shall be prima facie evidence that the gear is being used in violation of this regulation. |

If I mount it with a screw - am I legal? California forbids "mousetrap" gear that is not attached to a person or vessel. (DFG 28.65 f) Section 28.65 (f ) Mousetrap gear prohibited: It is unlawful to use, assist in using, or to possess aboard any vessel, hook-and-line gear commonly termed “mouse traps” constructed of a hook(s) or lure(s), attached to one end of a line that is attached to a float, or floats at the other end, and that when fished, is not attached directly to a person or vessel. Possession of such gear aboard a vessel shall be prima facie evidence that the gear is being used in violation of this regulation. "The setup you describe is fine, as long as the line is attached to your boat (or held by you) and not set adrift attached to a float." As per: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Spokesperson. So Yo-Yo Automatic Fishing Reels may be used under your personal supervision. |
