[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 1781974, member: 7292"] Jared, I suppose our difference in opinion lies in how the smooth stick is used. You seem to believe that poking a stick into a hole is taking a fish with it and therefore illegal. I believe that sticking a pole into a hole and then subsequently using the hands as the only means of retrieving the fish, i.e. taking the fish, is, according to written law, legal. I would even venture to say that if you or other wardens saw someone in the act of noodling and they also possess a smooth pole, that you would cite them, despite the fact that you didn't witness them using the stick in the act of taking the fish. I would stipulate that using a stick to help while you are wading through sometimes muddy water is very advisable and just because I possess a stick and that it may even be underwater while I am taking the fish with my hands, doesn't mean that I used it to take the fish or even aid in taking the fish. Maybe I was just stepping on it to keep it from floating away? [/QUOTE]
