It’s taken a local reservoir of over 350 acres several years to bounce back once the county started requiring an out of county annual permit.
It’s helped .
Our daily limit of fifty per person doesn’t help matters .
We have a 25 per day limit but no possession. Youll see the same boats hitting all the beds every day of the spawn, taking home limits every day for the summer fish fry where they invite everyone they know and get to feel super cool. Same thing happens during the crappie spawn. Rob the lake of the future fish to feel cool at a cookout and feed a bunch of people who would have happily eaten a hotdog.

A fella told me the other day that he cleaned over 1000 fish with his electric bubba last year. I said wow, what do you do with 1000 fish? He said he fishes every day and gives the fish away to all his family/friends and then has big fish frys.
