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.
Dee, you hit the nail on the head. Someone from out of town will spend more in one trip to Grenada than I will in 5, maybe more.
