Thread: Rend limits (poachers)

It has come to my attention that there are several people on the lake who are going out and catching multiple limits in a day such as way over the limits. I'm not talking about someone who goes out and catches 20 or 25 over 10 inches because personally I think that is what the limit should be. Maybe it should be 20 fish over 10 inches. I am talking about people going out and catching multiple bag limits in one day. I know this is happening because I personally know someone who bragged about it a couple weeks ago and talked about who he was fishing with. CPO's know exactly who he is. Let me just say this, if I see or hear of anyone who is doing this I will make a phone call and let the CPO's know who you are and what your boat is. We work hard to make Rend the fishery that it is and I personally want to see it stay that way. There are way more crappie fisherman than there was 20 years ago when there used to not be a limit on Rend at all. There is a reason there is a size limit on lakes such as KY lake and the Mississippi lakes and the limits there are working great. Like I said I do believe our limit needs to change and I personally would like to see it at 20 or 25 fish 10 inches or bigger or just a straight 20 or 25 fish for those of you who don't get out much.

So with that said be safe on the water.

Obviously IL has a daily catch limit, but I have never been able to find an actual possession limit for the state. Most other states do have one, I believe?
