Thread: Eagle Lake limits

I know Mississippi has a 30 fish limit but I read that you can keep 50 at the oxbows, is that correct? Oh, BTW, anyone else get a text and picture from Feelay?

someone actually holding up a fish out of supposidly his boat. Least someone can catch 'em outta his boat. LOL

Don unless it has changed the limit is 30. It was 50 back in the 80's when I first started fishing there then dropped down to 30 sometime in the 90's. I have not been down there in about 3 years.

According to the recent copy of Mississippi Outdoor Digest...the statewide limit on crappie ( combined white and black) is 30. 20 per day on the big four ( Grenada, Arkabutla, Enid, and Sardis).

Paul Johnson said something about a limit of 50

Don, according to MS game and fish it is 30.

You can keep the limit that is higher on lakes that share borders. IE: Tunica, Arkansas limit is 50, therefore you can keep 50 on this lake.

You are right....I just now found that in the rule book.

Not all of Arkansas is 50. West AR is 20 East AR is 30.But here is the kicker, between the main levees of the Mississippi River and on Horseshoe Lake (Crittenden County), the daily crappie limit is 50. So it just depends on where you are as to what the limit is.

get my minners Saturday morning to make darn sure. Just got back from Propeller Service AGAIN. Had to buy another TM cable. Seems since my foot control is screwed down to the deck of my boat, something about the angle of it to the TM causes it to crimp and thusly BREAK. Used that sucker 1 time of hard fishing and SNAP
