Thread: Crappie rule changes

The proposed rule change for crappie allows anglers to keep a fish up to 12 inches and sets the daily creel limit to 15 fish per angler.


I'm thinking this is a misprint that we can KEEP fish up to 12 inches ?????

What does Louisiana have to do with approving what happens in MS?

dunno, bordering states sometimes have have recipical agreements.......Maybe Rees can tell us as he has been talking to the officials involved

Think so too.....supposed to be over 12 inches I'm thinking

I'm reading it as letting you keep one short fish(12 and under). 15 limit, 3 poles per person.

If that's what it takes I'm all for it. Only negative is if they keep lowering the number I may become one of those dreaded limit fishermen. LOL.

As usual they have changed the rules and cannot word it where folks can understand them

G, I think the LA agreement is only for Eagle Lake, which is also on the LA side. Always like that with river lakes. Ferguson and Whittington have agreements with AR Game and Fish, I think. Article kinda misleading, says "up to 12 inches" when it should read over 12 inches.
