Hey guys. Finally made it up here Sunday and been fishing for two days now - still no hookups - but seeing many others hook up. Frustrating, but still learning how. Had one angler give me some tips on rigging and how he was hooking up, so hopefully that will help going forward.
Do have another regulation question. This guy told me that there had to be a break in your line; main line - swivel - leader - hook. I can find nothing in the regs that state this. All I see is that your weight can be no more than 4' from your hook, 1/2' gap in hook, single hook, etc. - I cannot find anything about having break in line. He said DEC would fine you if you didn't.
Anybody no what page this is on, or if this is in fact true? Thanks.
