    Wasn't there a minimum length limit on Nimrod or a couple of other lakes a few years ago? I know that there are a few fishermen that will keep any size fish but most will throw the dinks back. At least I do and hope that others do.

    It all needs to be on a lake by lake basis. That being said I wouldn't mind a length limit on Degray....maybe around 10".

    I agree with a length limit. I think a 10" minimum would be fine. I'm not trying to start an argument but I don't agree with what everyone is saying about yoyo's. I love yoyo fishing. I think that there should be tighter restrictions on them. What about making it where you have to stay with your yoyos at all times. That's what I always do and it doesn't waste the fish. Just a thought.

    thats the way its suppose to be now within sight and sound. the problem with yo-yos is the amount you can have.

    Outlaw anything other than a single 10 ft b&m rod paired with a zebco t11 spooled with six pound stren using a black /chartreuse solid body jig fished on a 1/32 canyon jig head and tipped with a single white crappie nibble. Limit should be 8 with all other than between 10 and 11 inches returned unharmed immediately because that is my favorite size to eat
    People who fish any way other than the way I enjoy are just wrong.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    as prolific as they are here in the delta area i think it is like it should be. no size limit at all. and as good as the fishing is right now maybe even take the limit off for a couple of years and do some population control to let the bream and bass have a chance to grow. and that single pole limit that is posted above is just wrong. i'm for a no pole limit.

    Size limit works on some lake on others it does not. The 10" limit on Lake Charles did not help the size there. On the big 4 in Mississippi the 12" minimum is working. We need to watch what we wish for on restrictions on how you can fish. PETA loves that.

    Creekslick is correct. On some lakes it works and on others it doesn't. I think on a small lake such as Charles the growth gets stunted by the over population of small fish. Over the long term, you take out all the larger fish and only leave the smaller fish which will never reach the minimum length limit.

    introduce hybrid stripers. a bunch of them. let them do the population control that's needed on lake charles.
