Thread: Sardis 3 pole limit survey

I don't fish to catch fish. I like fishing and the good company of good friends. Fish are just a bonus. One day in the post-apocalyptic world, there will be no fish in the waters.

But I'll still fish.

10" would have been dead wrong. The pole limit and the creel limit is dead on. The 7 limit transport is a crying shame. I see your point and understand what your saying. Something has to be done. I would rather them change a little now than keep things unchanged and in a few years from now Sardis turns over the other way. I just don't see any fish catching difference with 3 rods vs 5. You will still limit out with no problem that was my question for the post. I know it's 5 fewer fish. If the limit was 50 people could get 50. I was just curious.

That's good to know. You can ship me that fish cleaning station.

ATM, you keep bringing this up over and over. The facts are, that the Commission of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is authorized by the Mississippi Code of 1972 to make decisions regarding the protection of our resources. These folks are not "hired" by us and the Code says absolutely nothing about requiring MDWFP to get general public approval prior to making, or changing, these decisions. It would be nice if everything went my ( or your) way, but it just don't work like that. I think the Commission is doing a great job in making North Mississippi the crappie capital of the U.S.

Friend, what you have, there is no cure for.

No bashing but just rather stating that Pops has single poler envy. He is anti-trolling 100 percent and since the 3 pole regs have zero impact on him he thinks everyone else should be good with them.

If you have someone with u 6 poles is enough for anyone but I can see where people may not like 3 if they are by their self. All I fish is grenada with 3 poles so I usually get someone to tag along
