Just completed the survey, Matt. Thanks for putting that link up so we could all participate. I voted for the 10" length limit on black and white crappie, a statewide creel limit for crappie of 20 or 25 (I think 30 is too many) and for outlawing the use of yo-yo's on Lake Conway, even though they didn't give me the option on the last one! I'm starting a grass roots campaign on that one and encourage every one of my fellow Crappie.commers to voice your opinion on that at the end of the survey. They give you a blank area at the end to bring up anything that wasn't covered. So here's your chance!

Just finished here. A state wide limit of 20 would be fine except in certain lakes. Charles comes to mind. I suppose you could set a statewide and then have specific lake regs.

Just put my 2cents in for what is worth !!!!! 25 state wide limit and 10" state wide length limit for me.

Took it. I would like to see a 25 statewide limit. I have to disagree with the discontinuing yoyo fishing on the lake Conway. What I really think is it needs to be enforced better than it currently is being done. Tickets would curfew a lot of folks.

I believe a 10 inch limit would be good for sure and a 25 limit would be fine with me as well.Also the degray slot needs to be removed it seems.Ive fished that lake alot since the early 90s and the past couple years it has really fell off for largemouth.Not sure what is going on but it has definetly changed for the worse.Definitely some good issues to be looked at..nice work D10

Limit use of yoyos to cut or dead bait for catfishing only. Yes on the 30 Crappie limit except for lakes like Dardanelle where we have quality fish and 20 is enough. No length limit needed on lakes like Nimrod.

Thanks guys for filling this out and adding your comments.

We really do appreciate it!!

CASTINnBLASTIN,

There is definitely something going on at Degray. The loss of vegetation has had a big impact on that lake.

I agree mojorig..we used to catch some big sacks down there up until the grass disappeared.Im sure alot of people still catch some good ones down there but the numbers of 6 lbers from all of my fishing buddies has decreased bigtime.What happened to the grass Ive heard all kinds of stories on it the past several years?

Ouachita was the same way until they killed off the coon tail with the flys.
