I heard from someone today that jug fishing in Kentucky was illegal... and truth to this?

SPORT FISHING TROTLINES,
JUGGING and SET LINES (LIMB
LINES)
(301 KAR 1:410; KRS 150.010)
A sport fishing trotline is a line
with no more than 50 single or multibarbed
baited hooks that must be at least
18 inches apart. A sport fishing trotline
must be set at least three feet below the
water’s surface. Jugging is fishing with a
single baited line attached to any floating
object. A jug line may have no more
than one single or multi-barbed hook. A
set line is a line with one single or multi
barbed hook. It may be attached to a tree
limb, tree trunk, bank pole or other stationary
object on the bank of a stream or
impoundment.
One person may use no more than
two sport fishing trotlines or 50 jug lines
(per boat) or 25 set lines at any one time.
Each sport fishing trotline, jug line or set
line must be: 1) permanently labeled
with the name and address of the user;
2) baited, checked and all fish removed
at least once every 24 hours; 3) removed
from water, bank or tree when fishing
ceases.
Prohibited Areas: Sport fishing
trotlines, jug lines or set lines may
not be used within 200 yards below
any dam. Sport fishing trotlines, jug
lines or set lines are not allowed in
Department owned/managed lakes
having less than 500 surface acres,
except those located on Ballard, Swan
Lake and Peal WMAs. No sport fishing
trotlines are allowed within 700 yards
below Kentucky Dam, the area between
Barkley Dam and Highway 62 bridge,
or below the following Ohio River

Meldahl and Greenup; McAlpine

the outer lock wall and that portion of
the split channel around the southern
part of Wabash Island from the fixed
