Thread: 10 in. limit

We did something similar back home in MS. We went ot 12inch cut limit to 20(was 30) and cut down on poles and # hooks per pole and it is showing good results. We did this on the 4 major Corp of Engineer lakes so it really wasnt up to us fishermen of the state but after seeing results, I dont know many people against it now

I agree with you Budman. I do feel that the 10in limit would be best for most lakes. Just look at the results in Florida.

I would love a ten inch limit on sinclair. Because it is almost impossible to catch a 1o incher trolling a sinclair. SOmething needs to happen...

Well I think it serves to protect the populations and also cuts way down on over harvest by those who would take everything they catch. It works here, I have seen stringers of big crappie come out of one lake. Is a 10 fish limit so 10 fish under 10" wouldn't be much of a meal anyway.

yea i to would love to see it but then again i have seen this same thing asked every year and as many who like it theres as many who dont

sign me up for the 10"limit. I see so many people keeping 6 7 inch fish. Makes me kinda sick. Maybe we could start a drive to lobby the gov. to make the 10" a reality.

Want to know how it works here:
Get together a comprehensive and very explicit proposal and submit to the DFW. Regulations gets passed that way here all the time, 3 of mine have gone through that way. It doesn't hurt to have a bunch of other fishers in the area write to them and call and email them and basically pester then until they get the point.

I sent the DNR an email about this last year. Never heard back from them.
