CP, I'm not quite sure what he 's reading, I didn't take that from your post at all.
I do fish the TN side of KY/Lake. I was born in West Tn and was taken there by my grandfather when I was just a kid. Lot of good memories for me, and the fishing is good. That being said, I agree that having different regulations on the same lake with an imaginary line across it doesnt' make a lot of sense.
Reducing the creel would be fine by me, but I like the 11" size limit even better.
I don't think he was referring to me, but rather to Cane Pole. I'm basing that on his reply to Cane Pole on the TENN board, where he referred to "his other post". That, and Cane Pole's first line in his reply to me.

Anyway ... I found some interesting TWRA study info, on size limits, and posted about it on the thread in the TENN board. Seems like the TWRA thinks a 9" size limit would be more beneficial to KY Lake, than even the current 10" limit. I think they're basing that on some unknown values, though. They do mention that they need to know the natural mortality rates and the total % of Crappie removed from the lake, so that their study numbers can be compared to that, and adjusted.

I think SLS has his heart in the right place, but some of his numbers/info is a bit skewed.

I'm just wondering when the TWRA & KDFWR & all the other state's wildlife people, are going to catch up to the 21st Century :p --- Rather than have a few dozen people, who can make these meetings, be the only voice pro/con to their proposals ... why not put out a "vote" link, and ask thousands --- You could register using your fishing license number, read the proposal & the reasons/ideas behind such, then vote or make counter proposals. All their biologist's info/studies info/field experience is already in their own database ... so all they'd have to do is copy/paste the pertinent info into a polling post page, send the news media the address & post it on their main website, and give the people affected a couple of weeks to get around to making their choice ... then go from there.

Majority rule doesn't mean that everyone's going to be happy with the results ... just "most of them" will :p
