Thread: Possession limits?

IMO it's much harder for a lake to become over-fished than it is to be under-fished and also harder to bring an under fished lake back up to par. So if you fill your freezer and eat or give it away, go for it. I don't believe in waste, but if you go through 420 or 1000 filets in a year and they were caught legally then that's your right to do so. Creep surveys are taken and limits are set to keep your lake in the best conditions possible.

I took hers up today

I knew I would get hammered for my comment and that ok, I know alot of people give fish away, I do too. I gave quite abit to crappie camp this spring, friends and neighbors. So catch away.

I asked about possession limits before and they don't pertain to the freezer. It pertains to being in the field. If you are camping somewhere for a multi day trip, there is a daily limit which we all know, then there is the possession limit. If the possession limit were 40 fish with a daily limit of 20 then you could possibly catch all the fish you could legally keep in just 2 days.

Thanks for the feedback, I will just keep filleting & freezing. This will give me plenty to give away. This will save them.

I weren't hammering dude just tapping you on your shoulder a little bit..
I will say this, my freezer is cleaned out every winter, don't have a fillet in my freezer rite now older than a couple of months and need more rite now and will get em, cranking time is almost here. I carry others during the spawn now where used to it was the only time I fished, single pole one morning this year and that was pre-fishing for a tourney, caught 5 short fish and put the trolling poles back out.

Rees I know it was just a tack hammer, but you say cranking time is almost here and we have been pulling them all month of here and your a month ahead of us down there. Why not pull cranks earlier there. I think it would work when we were there in March if is wasn't for all of the boats.

Because it doesn't produce fish, plain and simple. Been pushing a little bit but longlining and slo-trolling minners is still out producing cranks. Its fixxin to change tho. Nader is slower on cranks than Enid and Sardis for some reason, this fall while you are here Enid will be good on cranks but I wouldn't drive down to Nader to pull cranks if I were you, it will be a lot slower day. Nader will be at its peak for cranks middle of July till middle of August, Enid and Sardis both are fixxin to get real good and will stay that way till over in October. Why, I don't know.
