    Got a response from MDWFP.. limits only apply withing the boundaries of the COE. I will post the email when I get back to my PC. I'm out fishing this afternoon, slaying some white basses :-/

    i understand the reasoning behind the response from mdwfp. however, a game warden may not share that view. Wouldn't be the first time that the man wasn't on the same page as Jackson. had a warden at sardis tell me one time that there was a limit on white bass. he didn't know what the limit was, but "there is a limit on everything".

    Mr. Ferguson,
    The Arkabutla length and creel limits only apply within the COE lake boundaries. Thanks for your question.

    In response to:
    Hello,
    I have a question concerning boundaries and length / creel limits outside of the marked COE boundaries. With the high waters flooding outside of the COE boundary at Arkabutla Lake do the same creel and length limits (12" length 15" creel) still apply even on private land that has been flooded well outside of the COE boundary?
    Also, what about natural creeks outside of the boundary that flow into or out the same lake?
    There seems to be some confusion on the issue.
    Thanks,
    J. Ferguson

    I did not include the responding officers email address in this post, and left mine out as well nobody needs any extra spam. This still does not forego the original topic as brought up by the OP. Trespassing is just that, I did not inquire on this because I've already been informed of the rules personally by local MDWFP officials. That's like saying if water floods into a home that is caused by the lake, does that mean the home becomes public domain?? Of course not.. get permission in writing or know your public domain areas. Thanks

    Thanks for all the good info. I don't keep anything under 12 1/2" anyway.Anything under goes back to grow up when it will later in the year be a legal fish inside COE boundaries.I just wish I could get under the Fog Rd. bridge.

    corp. water dictates what is corps . This may have changed since I was a ranger . If a person can put in a corp. ramp and go to it in a boat it( lake) has no boundary . I personally saw a man try to stop folks from entering his property by putting up a log chain across a creek . He had to take it down . Also saw duck hunters walk a ditch bank only to get citations for trespassing as they were following the rising water . There are strange laws like the pfd. rules . You can swim anywhere you like but if you enter water at the beach(swimming area) you can not go outside the buoy lines .Even with a life vest . explain that . Making sense is optional when you are on Government property. lol sounds like a John Wayne game warden as some are called .

    I have to disagree with their response Snubby, Mr Green Jeans is sitting at a COE ramp when you come in I can assure you he aint gonna care where they were caught, you better be in line with state regs for said lake. Parker Rangers have nothing to do with state fishing regs just like a game warden aint going to write a ticket for not wearing a lifevest on COE lakes, not a state reg, its a COE rule in the Vicksburg District.

    We deal with duck hunters thinking that just because the river floods our bean fields they can boat out of the river and hunt anywhere they can reach by boat....... They are wrong and it gets expensive for them fast, $500.00 apiece for trespassing, plus poaching game if they kill before we catch them. Same applies for the COE lakes, just because flood waters cover private property doesn't mean you can go where you please without concequence.
