All this technology moving so fast with upgrades every year . The imaging is improving at at fast pace like computers and options like 360 . Even the guys that don't fish tournaments that can afford them are doing so . With limits raised in some areas , technology , and folks having more time on the water has to be taking a toll on the resource . If trends continue we maybe looking at the need for tighter restrictions on some waters . I know some places even in the Crappie Capitol of the south , Mississippi looking at this .

What is this im hearing CA.....i was shocked in your thread about high winds to learn that you use a trolling motor, now electronics!!!! I always figured you battled the wind with a scull paddle, fish where u just remembered there was structure, catch a fish and swing his butt in the boat....... you will be trolling before we know it

The Crappie. Thanks Guys you do a HUll of a job. By the way the 10 inch rule you all incorporated on Conway is making a difference. Good Decision.

i agree the 10" rule on conway is good. actually wish it was 11" and limit of 20

Heck, I wish the limit was 15. Then even I could say I caught a limit now and then.

Why not a 10 to 14'' slot statewide ? Just kidding most lakes a length limit would help except for those that flood regularly most springs .

actually, i would need the limit to be 8 if i was going to get a limit most times i go out. luckily for me, i fish conway and the eight i get are usually quite large

Thanks Russ. Next Fall we will begin our three year evaluation of the regulation to see if it is meeting our expectations and to see if the predictive model was correct. We collected three years of extensive pre-regulstion data and we intend to match the effort this go around.
