Thread: Lake Blackshear

I am not sure of the exact reason GA DNR won't put a 10" size limit on Blackshear. I know this topic has been discussed on here more than once. It seems that I remember someone saying that the biologists said that Blackshear didn't have the correct ecosystem (or something to that effect) to support a 10" size limit. Personally, I strongly disagree. If that was the case, why are so many slabs coming out of that lake? Just imagine how many more could come out of there with a size limit. Talquin, for example, has a 10" limit and a daily limit of 25. Grenada in Mississippi had a 12" limit.Lake Monroe once had a 12" limit also, but they no longer do (and the slabs are on the decline now compared to when it was a 12" limit)..Look at the slabs that Blackshear could produce...It would draw more fishermen and women to the local area and impact the local economy....I could go on and on, but we have discussed this, In Depth, in the past...I was sitting here thinking about all the slabs that have recently came out of Blackshear...I know of at least a couple of 3+ lbers that have been caught recently and heard of 2 others. There have been numerous fish caught over 2 lbs. Just in the past 7 days, these pics were posted on Crappie.com....Just my thoughts!!
