Why don't we just close it all year! Than we can get some holdovers for PETA. Its fishing, even catch and release fish or going to die.

These are the most ridiculous proposed rules I have yet to hear come out of the CT Dep department's mouth. Your going to tell me the only place in CT, I can actually effeciently use downriggers, that I can't fish during these times anymore. Mine aswell sell the downriggers and buy a jon boat and get some worms and minows.

You want to do something ban ice fishing or bait fishing all together on East Twin.

No better yet lets take the most eduacated fisherman (downriggers, leadcore, dipsey fisherman) and take them out of the picture. LMAO.
