Keeping fish in livewell

Postby Bozu » Thu Feb 08, 2007 1:40 pm

FYI Since Lake Wilson changed to a catch and release policy all Tucunare and Largemouth bass must be released immediately after capture.
This includes holding fish in a livewell. As I understand, the Bass clubs must obtain a special waiver for their tournaments to allow for the holding of tucs and bass in livewells. The waiver is in place only for the duration of the tournament(s).

It looks like you really know your stuff about the safe handling of the bass and tucs in your livewell. I wish everybody was so knowledeable and careful. However, if a DLNR enforcement officer happened to come by the ramp and see those fish in your livewell, you could still be cited for a violation of the lake's catch and release rule.

Hope this helps

Well thats a crappy law that they cant even go into a live well until you get them revived. I would not have been in trouble though because of the boat I was using. Some might know of it. It is used for collecting from Wilson. I also wanted measurements.
