Default When I bank fish would it be legal to...

...toss a small cast net to bait I see along the bank then use them on a circle hook under a float?
With all the new regs I thought someone here would know right away.

Thank you.

I can't see why not. I'm certainly going to.

240,
Cast net legal. No problems.....

Assuming C/R season.

Now...the catch in the net, and intention.

The catch is Bull Minnows. They will catch White Perch, Yellow Perch (resident in some Rivers..don't know where you are), Pickerel, and will accidently catch Rock. If targeting the small fish you are allowed a 1/2" gap between the barb and shank of the hook. Noone will believe you are targeting Rock with a #4 hook.

The catch is White Perch. OK...great for catching Rock before the Spot show up. You better be using a Non-Offset Circle Hook targeting Rock.

I hope that helps,
Jim

Check the DNR booklet - certain waters are off limits to cast or dip nets.

I'd be leery tossing a net from shore - very likely it will snag something on bottom.

Let me be more specific , when I go to Point Lookout, and surf fish from the causeway,I throw a net into the Potomac side for spot.Or if I need minnows for flounder before I go up to Corn Harbor, you throw a minnow trap in the same area for 30 minutes and you'll load up on free minnies.

Cast nets are prohibited in non-tidal areas

See page 6 http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries...nal_LowRes.pdf

Other than that it depends on what you haul in.

Location- In the Narrows
Bait looks to be 3"+/-. Schools of 50+/-, (WAG)
After sunset they come along the shore, at least that's when I have seen them.
To be used to target rock. Toss it out and let it drift with the tide / current.

Thanks, just wanted to be sure.

Jeff
