The lake has finally caught up with the 12 inch rule and now they want to go back to 10 inches for a one year trial period and see how it affects the lake. With the 15 limit per person at 10 inches everyone will have a limit in about 90 minutes. If I was a crappie guide I would be so excited I would book 4 trips a day. They would be taking numbers at the boat ramp. There will be ALOT of fishermen at sardis this year without a doubt. Now everyone that comes down gets a limit. Going to be one interesting year can't wait to see what there survey finds out. My Geuss it's going to take a couple years to catch those over 10 inch fish until your going to have a problem with finding 10 inch fish. Last few years sardis has had a decline in fishermen due to finding over 12 inch fish. With that said my opinion is leave the 12 inch in place make it 15 on the limit and 30 per boat. I have feed my family of 6 on 15 crappie many times with leftovers. Also your allowed to have 7 limits on your possesion in travel per person. That should be changed to 2 limits per person. The one good thing I see that will help the crappie is that now when you catch one trolling and as many of us have done is now when you put one back in the water that was too small to keep and you know it's going to die because his gills are bleeding like a stuck hog he will become a keeper and not a waste. So in the future if they want to change trolling rules they can start with barbless hooks. Just my opinion on the new changes to come this march for sardis.
