Thread: Transfering fish and game in Arkansas

I don't want to keep rehashing this. My opinion was not formed by these two instances only. I could write a book with the stories I have heard and witnessed over the past 30 years of Crappie fishing.....some tickets completely justified....but others just unbelievable. More than one involving the elderly who aren't as "up to date" as us younger folks (I don't like anybody picking on old folks!) when a kind explanation and a warning would serve the same purpose and avoid those hard feelings. As Creek advised...We will just have to agree to disagree regarding this issue and leave it at that. That's all I will say on this subject.

Creek, it's about time to lock it.

Legal possession limit is 2 days catch in your possession .But processed fish stored at your permenate home dos not apply. So you can legally keep a limit everyday if you clean them and haul the fish home.

I said I still love ya. LOL. I knew you would set me straight. I apologize to you if I offended you, I certainly didn't mean too!!!!!

Of course you can keep a limit every day. Now if someone were to catch a limit, clean them, take them home and go back and catch more it's illegal. Just sayin. And according to the possession rule, you can keep 2 limits with you if they were caught on two seperate days. And to me the calendar day starts at 12:00 Midnight and ends 24 hours later. Your interpretation of one day may differ from mine. Last word rests with the WO and judge. Use your own judgement and common sense.

I don't know to many people that catch a limit everytime they go fishing, but I don't think this is the issue at all.
I've never knew of this writing a note to transfer your fish before, but on the other hand I've never read the hand booket all the way though, this is a eye opener for sure.
I fish Ms. also so I better check the hand booket on it too. This has been a great post, but sorry things happen the way they did.
This law might qualify to be a sticky here on the Ar. forum, it might save some body a lot of grief.
