Are the flats out from the creek really closed waters there? An older in-law took me there 2 weeks ago in a boat and we were fishing right in front of the Oyster Factory. He told me that snagging was ok there and was blatently doing so. Is snagging legal there? I didn't think so, but I've heard various things now from people about fishing the salt water flats for Chum. There were several other boats where we were also.

The fish were all ugly chum and the indians were netting nearby for the eggs, so I didn't feel TOO bad, but I don't think I'll go there again. I still can't believe people eat those things anyway. We were Catch N' Releasing or Snag N' Releasing if you want to call it that.

I couldn't find a specific answer to my questions about either in the regs, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. I would like to pass along correct info to my relative if possible. Thanks.
