Alabama Rig in Maryland

[Creel Limit Zero]

Copy and Paste from MD-DNR...

"The Department has recently received many questions about a type of gear called an Alabama Rig. The Department defines the Alabama Rig as an umbrella rig. The umbrella rig, as described on page 39 of the 2012 Fishing Guide, may not have more than two baits or lures which have hooks. Additional hooks can be removed to bring the rig into compliance with regulations. This is consistent with regulations for the mainstem tidal Potomac River as well, which is managed under the authority of the Potomac River Fisheries Commission."
