Reply With QuoteI 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.

Eagle I agree with you. All these rule changes are going to keep honest fishermen off the lake. An outlaw is still going to break the law or bend as far as an outlaw can. Not only do we need more enforcement of laws and more wardens, we need judges that will back up those wardens and issue max fines and penalties.

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.

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.

I understand it passed today. 10 per day over 12 inches. They left the pole number alone. July 1st the new rules are in effect.

Having never fished any of the Lakes north of Ross Barnett I don't have any input. I do have a question for all of you commenting on the subject of the current crappie populations in the Big 4 especially Granada. I remember years ago say 15 - 20 that the fish populations were insane, out of state harvesters were driving down in motorhomes with freezers installed, filling their freezers on a lake like Granada then fishing their way home only to sell the fish after arriving. I also remember reading about the Lake Management introducing a Hybrid (Man Altered not a Natural change) type of Crappie that was supposed to reduce the Crappie populations. Is it the opinion just that the Big 4 are over fished? The increase in the number of boaters that actually know how to catch Crappie, fish for them year around as we do, exploded in the last 15-20 years? Or does Management bear some of the blame for altering the Genes of enough Crappie to severely reduce the population by reducing the successful reproduction ability of the fish. It is not a very long lived fish to start with.
