I try to understand why some guy would want to make changes to something that hasn't been given a chance to work but i just dont get it. Last season you could keep 30 crappies. This season, 20. Now you think it should be lower? After not even one season? I travel 650 miles each way to visit Ky lake, once each year. Dont care if i limit on crappie or bass anymore now than i did when i first started coming down back in the 80's. I'm fishing to relax and enjoy my time away from home. Not everybody that visits this lake is a crappie hog. I like bluegills and redears. Last year i was fortunate enough to catch and keep my limit of crackers two days in a row. That was plenty to take home. Lasted me all winter. Most were females and after posting pictures was told maybe i should have thrown some back. Point taken. When i come down this year, if all i'm catching is females, i'll definately lower my keeper number. Thank you for the heads up, Mr Dux. Point taken.
