Freddie, Jimmy, Eddie and I all went to the Public Hearing in Rocky Mount last Thursday. We were the only ones to address the Wildlife officials on keeping the size at 10 inches. This was the last of the Public Hearings across the state, but there is still time to comment on the Wildlife website.
Christian Waters, Chief, Inland Fisheries Division, was at the meeting and we spoke with him quite a bit after the hearing. Christian was one of the officials that was responsible for the 10 inch limit back in 2004. All four of us made a strong case for leaving the 10 inch rule in place and we will continue to have conversations with the Wildlife division.
