We ALL have our weak moments. Hard to turn the other cheek when someone slaps you down. We are a family here for sure, but no one has a PERFECT family. [emoji57]

It's over, so let's move on to the main topic in this thread.

Have you sent in a letter yet? You gewbers are down here enough that you should get involved!!!!! [emoji120]🏻

Not sure what I did other than defend myself and suggest the gentleman write his own letter to the Commission.
Its a part of the process that is very important, we failed to use the system (the system failed us some as well) and it bit us at Sardis, we looked at the intent and didn't really see anything to worry about and didn't attend public meetings and voice our opinion. Others did and they were heard and had they had their way we would all be single poling and trolling would be a thing of the past on the Big Four. If we don't voice our opinion then we have no reason to complain when changes are made that we don't like or agree with.
As far as the biologist doing what is best for the fisheries I am all for it just don't think it has to be a bunch of different regs to do this.

I'll send you a PM and splain why your posts were deleted.

Thanks Slab.

if they make it 11 in mll because everyone is gripin about more poles, we may as well start pond fishin

We won'T see 11 inch mll, that is history.

hope your right

Me too, in March going back to 12 was already figured on so hopefully that will stay in place and become regulation.

From Larry Pugh, MDWFP

Mr. Shands,



Thanks for your comments. I will be summarizing all of the public comments we have received at next week’s Commission meeting. Several individuals have expressed favoring a 4 pole limit rather than 3. However, keep in mind that there is already a 3-pole limit in place on Sardis and Grenada. We were recommending lowering the pole limit for Arkabutla and Enid.



I will keep everyone updated as the process moves forward. Thanks again!
