Ever thought Those tourist spend big $$ in your towns and may contribute to the funding it takes to research and manage the big 4? Y'all complain about it.. I don't mind it.. I'm not a greedy person.. I would love to see it on Barnett. Until I see it otherwise.. I say the folks that do the most damage on lakes are the local people... We have a few out of state come to Barnett. They catch fish. But in most cases it's the local fisherman that bends the rules.
If I could change Barnett.. I'd put a 12" slot to start. Then in time I'd do limits as needed, and most of all I'd put the enforcement there needed and make 100% of the fishing related citations go directly back into the MDWFP to keep improving these places.
