Re: Febuary Bass! Are we on schedule?
Regardless what the wardens say about fishing for bass in the winter, that law was brought into place when people were snagging dormant fish out of their wintering holes, thats not legit so they outlawed it. Nowadays, residing fish habits are different and if you're snagging fish out of a hole then you're breaking the law, but if you're fair-hooking fish for catch and release, then who really cares? If you have the drive to fish this time of year and you're doing it fairly then the law really shouldn't matter, maybe you'll get a ticket one day for this, but if you know those are the potential consequences and you're willing to take the risk then more power to ya, TIA this is america I have had great backbay bites in january and kept it to myself and never ran into a warden. Tell em you're fishing for bluefish. or redfish.
