Lmao Fishing with 3 pole and complaining here in Indiana we have a three pole per person limit i have no problem catching fish by myself to be honest i dont know how you guys can fish more than 3 each without having a cluster¥£€k 3 is enough for me lol

Skill

last one--and for me it's more the principal of it. Next it will be the length of the pole--or type of pole-or no minners--yall get the picture.

I can't stand trot lines or jugs either--think they are dangerous but it is legal so I wont hound on the people that use them. shouldn't make a difference if I use 5 poles if the limit is set for the number of fish you can catch. 3 poles does make you choose your color a bit more stringently but that how we got to go. I'll just start taking people with me and have them sit in the b seat

as big as you are they may throw you in the back seat and tell you to sit and be quiet, maybe get you to make a sandwich and get drinks

I'm going to try to give the short version. According to MDWFP head fisheries biologist Keith Mills:

2007 surveyed Sardis and found 29 crappie of various lengths.

Changed MLL to 12".

2012 surveyed Sardis and found 695 crappie of various lengths. EXCEPT 8"-9" due to COE opening the spillway and flushing the lake during the spawn a couple years ago. The fishery is on such good shape people from 24 states traveled here to fish last year.

Once we catch the legal fish now the catching is going to drop off sharply due to the missing year class.

MDWFP proposed changing to a 10" MLL, 15 creel, and 40 boat limit to allow some catching during this lean time. Intending to raise the limit back to 12" next year.

68 single poles stood up and said hog wash. The fishery is not in good shape. The evil single polers have killed it.

MDWFP Fisheries Chief runs to the MDWFP Commission at his first opportunity and asks them to take two of our poles. Without the customary comment period I might add. They immediately comply.

If they had proposed the 3 pole limit in the Public Notice the turnout at the Enid Meeting would have been totally different.
