    Default 9" Crappie size limit


    seems to be working in Lamoka--Most of our fish this year have been in the 10 to 12" range---last year we caught a lot that were 8 to 8 3/4" ---5 of us fishing for the morning the last 2 sundays and cleaned 5 gal of fish both days--fishing again tomorrow--not that many days left before hunting season starts

    looks good,good mess of fish.....One thing I think Game and fish agencies make a mistake on is waiting too long to impose restrictions.Have watched so many lakes get over fished for so long I don't even shake my head anymore. They like to leave some harvest in place....but honestly sometimes they just need to reduce limits. If a body of water is healthy and spawns are successful nearly every year then their should be year classes of fish.Their should be fish of all sizes. Crappie are bad about boom and bust cycles on most bodies of water.

    Would like to see it raised to 10" limit. There is a big difference in a ten inch fish and nine inch fish. Ten inch fish start getting some shoulders. Just my two cents.

    In my opinion fillets from a 10" fish are almost twice as thick as those of a 9" fish.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    Fished Lamoka a bunch back in the day. I think you would be happier with a 10" limit.
    But, I never caught fish like these in Lamoka. 15 " average

    Lamoka and Waneta both good. I like Honeoye Lake as well. Keuka has some nice slabs. Cayuga north end near the channel is good as well.
    But most those lakes are seasonal. Spring and Fall. I find that Tennessee offers good crappie fishing almost year round.
