There was plenty other boats laying out their lines and I actually had to fight for a spot.
Please let me know if I was in violation I certainly do not want to break any laws.

Trot Line can't go in the water until legal starting time. DNR's schedule on sun up 6/30/10 was 5:44am 1/2 hour before sun up was 5:14am.

Don't be fooled by what the other guys are doing. Some may have commercial licenses (Different Rules). Some are breaking the law.
