Thread: Propsed limit change on big 4

I didn't see a rod length limit for spillways.
Can fish Sardis spillway to Spaulding Creek with 3 rods, no length limit on crappie, keeping 10.
Can float Tallahatchie River from Spaulding Creek to Hwy 51, no length limit on crappie, keeping 30.

Wanna do away with overfishing and population,,, I believe limiting the amount of fish tournaments would help,,,guys aren’t supposed to keep the fish but I’ve yet to see one ,,,throw them back,,,

The guides take thousands of fish out every year. With two clients and a guide they can legally keep 40 fish a day. Start by making ALL guided trips have a boat limit of 25. I wonder if I wanted to guide deer hunts on land around Corps lakes would they a?ow that.

Fished Magnolia crappie club and never took a fish home pre fishing or tournament day . Tournament fish were kept but not by individuals fishing .

Man, the times I have started to post something but stopped…
I got to know a few of these guides before they were guides. Thought they were cool dudes, and I still do.
30+ years ago, I thought I wanted to be a guide. Learned through a hard grind year fishing tournaments that I’m not wired right for that. Even though we were fairly successful, it was making me hate fishing. Took me awhile to find the joy again.
But to the point, I’m gonna just out with it. Fish in public lakes are a limited resource. I don’t see much if any difference between paying somebody for use of their boat, and being shown how to catch fish - and just buying the fish at a roadside stand. If you don’t have the burning desire, the love of the chase, the gumption… to buy and upkeep a boat, to learn the hard way how to catch - they are not worthy of eating the fish. Disagree, hate me, whatever. I don’t care.
