Some folks wanted to go back to 10 inches. Well in response to that, the "boat limit" was instituted at 50 per boat with 3 or more anglers. Now they are proposing to lower the length limit as well as the possession limit on Sardis. This appears to be a preview of what's to come for all the Big 4. Someone once said: be careful what you ask for; you may just get it.

Yep I member all the yammering

Folks who don't want to be limited to 15 keepers would be encouraged to go elsewhere. That would not be good for butla since I imagine that it would get more pressure if folks react to new rule like I'm suggesting. And butla don't need more pressure from the Memphis anglers. With gas prices being as high as they are, it would make it a tough choice to go to Sardis from Memphis for fewer fish if someone was trying to load their freezer. I agree that we need to catch what we need and leave the rest. Lots of folks try to catch all they can and often bring a partner in their boat so they can keep 40. I know guys who bring along somebody who almost never fishes and puts them in the back of their boat so that they can catch more than 20 out of the front.

that the funniest thing i have heard everybody and their mother will be at sardis to get their limit, Dont know how often you fish butla but it on of the toughest lakes to fish here today gone tomorrow. You are going to have to get to the boat ramp at 3 am just to get launched by day light

They have proposed it NOT pass it yet. Go catch a limit of 10"ers and wait for the ticket!

If it goes to a 10" limit get ready to be cathing a bunch of 9 1/2" fish. The fish over the length limit go in the cooler, the short fish go back in the lake. Give it couple years and it will be a dink hole

Was a 10" limit on all these lakes for a long, long, long time. Always have caught lots of big fish. Where did you get your degree in wildlife biology?

Everyone needs to remember that. The meeting on Jan 31 is an informational meeting. Don't know if they are going to allow any discussion. The notice says to submit inputs to their headquarters by Feb 16.
