[brianwhite]

nice fish minnow!  Be careful with that AL rig.  I was thinking only 2 hooks per rod was legal in ms??  I wasn't aware of this until recently.  not trying to police you or nothing just don't want ya to get a ticket from the ole GW!  Someone correct me if I'm wrong cause I'd like to try this lure out.

thanks @radtech, looked it up after you mentioned that, to be honest this was my first time actually using the a-rig. i done some research and made some myself really cheap. below is where it's restricted:

• Grenada, Arkabutla, Sardis, and Enid Lakes
  
• Spillways of Ross Barnett and Okatibbee Reservoirs
  
• Spillways of Grenada, Enid, Sardis, and Arkabutla Lakes from spillway outlets to the end of the riprap
  
• Bluff Lake spillway in Noxubee County
  
• Lowhead dam on Ross Barnett Reservoir from the dam to the end of the Idle Speed Only/No Wake Zone area downstream of the dam.

The Alabama Rig is legal to fish everywhere else in Mississippi.

Good to know!  I was talking with a friend a couple weeks ago about this rig and he mentioned this law to me.  I hadn't thought about it before that!  Glad I can try it at pickwick now!

[brianwhite]

[radtech]

yeah not far from ya actually.  I live in fulton.

[sidsmith03]

[brianwhite]

ha yea i did. he put up a fun fight for sure

[CStan442]

very nice.... I need to get out there dang it!!

[lazeebum]

I have to admit it.  When I catch a drum I still have fun.  Plus if the drum are biting, it is a good sign that maybe the bass are too.

[brianwhite]

yea the drum was a fun fight, till it got to the boat and was a little disappointed it wasnt a bass lol.

[lazeebum]

Yeah, it's kind of like staying at the bar till closing time, you think you have done good and then they turn on the lights.
