7/24/2013 11:59:00 AMIm not trying to be a jerk about this so don't get me wrong. But fishing with a pink buzz bomb when its not open for pinks until the 1st might get you a ticket, along with the barb. A warden might take it your fishing for pinks and the barb will be the kicker to get you a ticket.

7/24/2013 1:04:00 PMWithout a Pink in possession the warden can not ticket you for fishing for them.Non targeted fish are caught all the time. It's like saying you were going after salmon in the river while fishing for Dollies or other fish, it just doesnt stick. My brother-in-law is a warden and told me so. Just saying.
