The number of short fish being caught is ridiculous. I've been having a catch to keep ratio of around 10 to 1. I enjoy catching fish, but I would like to take home more fish that are large enough to eat. I've went to larger crank baits, difference styles of bait (plastic jigs both large and small) and tried going deeper and more shallow and the dinks are still a problem. I believe the reason folks are catching large numbers of shorts to keepers is the shorts are taking to bait before the keepers have a chance to get to it. It may be time to lower the size limit for a year or two. Just my opinion.
