Have not heard anything but I hope they don't leave it like this much longer.
Has anyone heard if these lakes are gonna remain with no creel or size limits?

Hope they change it back or make a slot limit. All you want below 10" but only 10 above 10". High Rock has been down for so long in size it would be nice to protect the bigger fish. This keeping 175, 115, 75, 64 etc over 10" is going to destroy the crappie once again on High Rock.
This is whole reason they put this law in place. The lake is over populated and it the why the fish are not growing to there bigger sizes.

I agree. That's why we leave the bigger fish and take out the little fish. If the lake is over populated and the fish are not getting bigger, take out the little fish to reduce the population and leave the bigger fish to grow to even bigger fish.
Well look at Jordan 10" minimum fish and look at the Quality they have it's easy to go over there and catch a pound and a half to two Pounders all day long.

Big fish have bigger appetites. That's why I don't agree with releasing all big fish, a few here and there isn't bad. I don't agree with a 10 inch limit on High Rock, not saying it wouldn't work but I can live with a no size but a creel limit.
I have fished a few ponds in my area with crappie and 2 were terribly stunted. Over time, I kept(and I'm sure some others did too)every crappie I caught. Within a couple years, size improved a lot.

Not exactly easy at Jordon but I get your point. Below are, in my opinion, the best crappie fishermen around. The winner did average 1.51 but CCA has only been going back there for the last two years because the quality was so bad. Had a lot to do with everyone sitting under the 64 bridge and taking 1000's out a week. I respect all opinions on this. I'm just going to agree to disagree.

I agree to disagree as well. I'll fallow whatever law the big biologist decides that we need for each lake.

I agree with turkeyfoot. At Moss Lake in Kings Mt NC the biologist put a a 8"size limit with a 20 fish creel limit been that way for years. You can't hardly catch fish there anymore and your lucky to catch any fish over 11". I think it depends on the individual lake at the amount of water acreage it has and the food source it has for the fish as to how big they get and how they reproduce. Just my option but if you don't keep thinning the fish out it will stunt there growth
