Limb Lineing ?

[Huckfinn]

Hey fellows, How many limb lines can you have? on the river Just want to know You gotta be leagal thease days. Help me out boys... And does anybody put any sinkers on a limb line? I have always done jugg line fishing never done limb line before. Gotta use limb lines becase I dont want to have to chase juggs down stream if you know what I mean. Huck.

You can have 33 hooks in the water at a time (except for the Mississippi where it is 50 hooks). It doesn't matter how many lines you have, just a total number of hooks. Each line should be labeled.

As far as weight use ... it depends on your method. If you set your line so that the baitfish will just be flopping on top (a flathead technique), then no weight is needed. If you plan on putting your bait down a little deeper, then I would use a weight.

Your limb lines MUST be CLEARLY labled with your name and conservation number or address. Your limb lines must also be checked at least once every 24 hrs and please remove ALL of your lines when you leave. failure to do either is a violation of the wildlife code. also, please remove all and your entire limb lines when you leave.

I use a piece of pool noodle and put my name, address and phone number. Just tie the piece to the limb, it makes it easy to find. It is also easy for other people to see it, but that is the price you pay to run lines legally.

I would recommend checking the lines ever 8 - 12 hours, but 24 hours is the legal limit. Set lines are a privilege for us in Missouri, so we all need to work together to keep this method legal.

Good points Stoneroller.
