Thread: Lakeview 3/11/07

I will be there tomorrow morning to try my luck again. Hopefully the yellow bass will not bug me to much this time around.

me maybe

Anyone have any definite clarification on this??? This is a messy issue if true...

No definite clarification but it sounds like the limit is 15 for Lakeview in runout on Tennessee side. If this is the case, I imagine we'll see the Tennessee Game Warden there real often. They should do a great business writing tickets over the next few weeks. Last year Tennessee enforced the 10" minimum in the runout which was different than the Mississippi regs for Lakeview.

I doubt that they will post anything at the boat ramp since it's in Mississippi. I think I'll post this on the Tennessee board to see if anyone knows of clarification for Lakeview.

I know the length limit is enforced on the Tennessee side but I still think the creel limit is that of the state with the highest limit. I remember reading this somewhere although I am not 100% sure.

I sent e-mail to the TWRA and just got this clarification back from them.

"The Tennessee limit for crappie in all waters that drain into the Mississippi River is 30 per day with no size limit. The exception is for the Mississippi River itself (includes adjacent sloughs, bayous, and all river runs and chutes, that are accessible by boat from the river proper) where the creel limit for crappie is 50 per day with no length limit. "

I believe I would print that email and carry it with me if I was you.

I talked with a TWRA Supervisor yesterday and learned that the above is INCORRECT. I was told that the limit for crappie in the Tennessee sections of Lakeview (majority of runout and part of Mud Lake) is 15 and the minimum length is 10". I was told that you cannot have more than 15 crappie per person and all of them had to be over 10" if you are chaecked in Tennessee waters on the lake. Pass the word and sorry for the wrong information. The limit was changed effective March 1, 2008. I will add a new thread with this information to make this more visable on the board.

Again, I'm not sure but I don't think that applies to Lakeview. It does receive water from the river but not in the way some other lakes do. Who knows? The definitions confuse me sometime.

I asked specifically for a clarification about Tennessee sections of Lakeview and that was the response I got from the TWRA.
