Two Questions...keeping Fish And Trout Magnets

[Idylwilde]

We have all the Leland lure products here and all the colors of trout Magnet's $1.99. SOS Trout Line and Easy Floats, Phantom fluorocarbon leader line also. They are a popular item at Montauk. And they catch fish.

Sassie is what was used to catch the 17.5 pound rainbow. It's a pink/salmon color. Also cotton candy - white/pink.

are trout magnets a plastic bait? Can you you them above fall creek?

[Phil Lilley]

yes they are and no you can't use them above Fall Creek.

As long as the fish are on separate stringer, and each stringer is marked to identify the landowner, you should be in the clear.

From the MDC website, and Missouri Wildlife Code:

The possession limit is twice the statewide daily limit. Fish you take and possess must be kept separate or distinctly identifiable from fish taken by another person. If you are away from your catch, the device holding the fish must be plainly labeled with your full name and address.

I don't think the identification is necessary as long as you are not leaving the fish unattended like tied to the dock, or on the shore.

I use my divided livewell for two fishermen keeping my fish on the driver's side. For any additional fishermen I have cheapo stringers for their fish to separate them from others in the well.
