well just got off the phone with the sc dnr law enforcement division, and i learned i am a poacher of perch , this is straight from the wardens mouth, white perch and crappie fall under the same creel group so you can only have in your possesion one legal limit of 30 and you can have 10 others from the other groups, ie large mouth and striper and so on, i hope this will keep us out of the pokey and keep our walletts fatter:D but this should also get us going to try to change this reg and get the perch removed from the list of game fish ,it can be done local fishermen got it done in nc. there is a process to getting this before the scdnr i will check into it , in nc the carolina catfish club has been working to have a limit put on the large blue cats from norman and badin and they have got it all the way to the public hearing stage so it can be done i am going fishing :D
