Thread: Which Way Would You Vote Today?

I believe that we need size and creel limits on all lakes but they should be determined for each lake.

Just a reminder that i'm up in PA. You southern guys have a longer growing season than we have here. Also i have a self imposed 10" size limit but if someone wants to keep some fat nines, thats okay too.

I voted no size limit. To impose a 10" limit on the lakes I frequently fish would be ridiculous. It more than likely would have a negative effect. I have no problem throwin them in the cooler as long as the state says its legal. My reasons are my own and don't have to be explained to anyone as long as I'm within the law. Now if a STUDY was done on a particular lake by a QUALIFIED BIOLOGIST and size or creel limit changes were recommended I would be for it. Some may not like my viewpoint on this. They don't have to. Call me Dink Squad or whatever name ya like. I get a kick out of the name callin. Reminds me of my school days.

Everyone knows which I voted. Throwing back a Crappie that's going to die and go to waste is UNETHICAL. I know some people that likes Whole Fryers so do I sometimes. What right do I have telling people what to do.

I would vote Yes. Hate being a naysayer, but it's not going to happen, been tried before by the Original Hal-fly man. The DNR said that the Crappie or Proliferate and the numbers will manage themselves, any other words they don't care if you catch 30 small or 3o Bigguns (if they are there).
Good Fshn...

You're quit right Mr.T he did and here's that article in case anybody wants to read it. Georgia's Original Crappie Man

^^^what he said^^^
but i voted yes for the lakes I fish

Nothing new or original about that statement, it has been said numerous times before and agreed on by everybody since the beginning of these discussions, no offense intended, just saying.
