    Default How do you keep track of size/creel limits?


    I'm getting old and have CRS sydrome. I fish a variety of places and the size/creel limits are different on each body of water. I read the sign before launching. However, by time I catch my first fish, I forgot what it said. How do you keep track? banghead

    Really hesitant to admit this, but since I carry my camera with me at all times.......I take a picture of the sign and refer back to it when CRS syndrome hits me.
    If stopped by Game Warden, I got photo of what the sign says and so far, it works for me. LOL

    If you have a smart phone, get the "Pocket Fisherman" app. Lists all the state regulations.

    smart phone would work, or write it down, then type it up nice and neat, drop by Fedex and get it laminated, put in boat, have a cheat sheet with all the info. I do this for my HDS, manual weighs too much to leave in boat. LOL

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I've taken pictures as well. Camera or phone will work.

    This question might be wrong for this thread but it's kinda in the same ballpark, how do you guys keep count of the number of fish you have in the livewell/cooler, I have looked at several counters at various websites and there seems to be several counters available for different applications but none said whether or not they were waterproof and I doubt they would last very long when subjected to rain, wet hands and the like.... I seem to be unsure most of the time, if I am having a good day, of how many fish I actually have.

    On Truman, pulling beads works well. They have theses at the marina for a few bucks.

    Well I have the same problem with the CRS! Just take someone with you that hasn't developed the CRS YET! As for the fish counter get the Mr. Crappie clicker for about $5.00 I've used the same one for years and never had a problem with it. I keep it hanging on my front rod holder the entire time I'm fishing and it still works just fine.

    I pretty much set my size limit above any of the local lakes, then I do not even have to worry. As far as keeping count, the clickers above work great for me. Normally have one for total fish caught and another for how many go in the livewell.

    Up here in Maine it's easy. No size no limit.
