Thanks Kent for your reply, it seems to be the same interpretation as I have from the way it is written up... It just seems like they are trying to say something different, but without having something saying something about attending the line I think I'd like to try leaving one out over night while I camp next to the lake...
(So my Dad's place is 50' from Cutler's surface, can he put out a setline at night, go to bed in his bed and wake in the morning and check his setline and be legal? I think by the way the law is written that should be perfectly legal..)
Well I know this is just a hypothetical question, I don't really have time to go fishing anyway, but fun to think about the what if's...
I don't really like setlines much because it goes rough on the fish when they swallow the hook, so if you're not fishing for consumption, which I don't do much of, then I don't really see a need for a setline... Went through too many hooks, cutting the lines to let the fish go.. That's why I only set mine out once or twice and the second time was to catch carp for bait... It did work well for that... Later J

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
