Hey guys,
I live up in Maine and am an avid ice fisherman. We almost exclusively fish with 5 ice fishing traps (tip ups), when a fish hits your bait a flag goes up. Just curious why I see a lot of other states almost exclusively jig. I mean, I understand that a lot of people enjoy jigging and it helps you target fish like perch and crappie more effectively. Just find it weird that hardly anyone jigs in Maine and if we do we set 4 tip ups and jig. Do most other states have laws banning tip ups or what?
