Is yo yo fishing allowed in California?
Im just wondering if i can use yo yo automatic reels for fishing in california saltwater and Freshwater bodies. Thank you.
I just dug through the CA Ocean regulations and found this (p. 46) :
"(f) Mousetrap gear prohibited: It is unlawful to use, assist in using, or to possess aboard any vessel, hook-and-line gear commonly termed “mouse traps” constructed of a hook(s) or lure(s), attached to one end of a line that is attached to a float, or floats at the other end, and that when fished, is not attached directly to a person or vessel. Possession of such gear aboard a vessel shall be prima facie evidence that the gear is being used in violation of this regulation."
That's the closest I found to what the yoyo reel seems to be, but if you're more familiar with it, you might check the regs for yourself.
The freshwater regs are a separate booklet. Both are PDF files at this website:
