Title: Regulation ?
Post by: Gobble Gobble on May 21, 2012, 03:05:57 PM: I haven't been able to find the answer so I'm hoping some of you more experienced fisherman can help.

When there is a "night closure in effect" what are the hours that one can fish? Is it 30 min before sunrise to 30 min after sunset?
