Sardis. WOWjust WOW

[DonDon]

Clarion ledger has a write up this mornin about Sardis. Proposed changes on creel n size. They want to drop the size to 10 inches but set the limit to 15. Then drop the total boat creel to 40

Trying to take some "pressure" off the lake. I don't agree with it but oh well. We play the hand we are dealt I guess

Wish they'd lower the limit on Barnett to 20 n set a 10 inch minimum.

[South65]

They was hoping to decrease pressure by lowerin the total number leaving the lake. That was the angle I was going with lol

That will not work.........there will be more pressure and more fish leaveing the lake because of the 10 inch rule even with the limit reduced to fifteen they will have more fish leave the lake.

[DonDon]

Heck. You can limit out on 11. 1/2 inch fish in bout an hour lol

The size limit was 10" for decades, and it didn't hurt. The real pressure is on the bigger fish now!!! People will catch their limit sooner with the 10" size limit, and go home. The 12" rule has only been in effect for 6-8 yrs, and the economy around Sardis has suffered, especially during the summer months, when most business' earn the bulk of their annual income. There used to be 4-5 good bait shops around the lake, now there is only 2, and one of those has very limited services. Hearns is gone, and so is the place where 315 splits, between Sardis and the Dam Store. That was a good place with lots of parking too!!! There used to be a bait shop where the motorcycle club is right before the Dam Store also. Without the summer time revenues, they have all had to shut down.

Give it a chance, if ya don't want to keep fish less than 12", then throw em back!!!!! JMHO
