They just need to slow down the catch rate that's what it's about. It's sickening to see 300 boats on Sardis any given good weather spring day people need to get a grip and realize whats going on and make adjustments or you will fish all day for a couple fish.
Now that's what I'm talking about! I should have said I told u so along time ago but I haven't. I actually joined this sight a couple years ago to try and persuade folks to quit fishing arkabutla and do there best to protect arkabutla. It didn't happen as everyone was too busy bragging about catching this and catching that(in a damn mud hole). They made fun of my comments as a newby as and I did my best to make sense of my argument. Well we never heard much after that and before long it was the Dead Sea. I sure wish we would have seen it comin! Greed is going to take over before long and no fish will be left. But I pray my kids will see the monsters we have been fortunate enough to catch. U guys really need to thing about this. Will I keep more fish if there is a 3 pole limit, or will I keep more fish if there is a 5 pole limit? I already know the answer but clouded heads have trouble with it. Save some and the future will be bright
