sardis camp ground and freezers in tents

camped with family this weekend witnesed lots of tents outside of motor homes with cords going in them and kept looking and there it was a pertty freezer with them putting fish in them is this legal

Call Mr Green Jeans and he will investigate it. My oppinion - NO, with one stipulation. How many limits there are in the freezer X people stayin in site!

If my memory serves me correctly. Only 3 limits per person can be in their possesion. I WOULD call the game warden and get him to check things out

I have seen commercial fisherman with the freezers before. Hey....when in doubt call the GW and let them check it out.

When i used to go for a week or so to enid we always had a freezer mainly for ice to keep our beer cold.

Guess as I've gotten older I respect things more. If to many people catch 100 fish a day when 30 is the limit, then you'll lose what you have. A perfect example would be Ross Barnett Spillway. There's a 30 limits down there and I KNOW I've seen many come out of there with 75-100 fish. Now you're lucky if you catch a fish over 2 pounds down there when that was the norm back just 3 or 4 years ago

There could be several good reasons why they would have a freezer in a tent, keeping their food in it so as not to have to keep running to the store, ice for their drinks.... tea that is and unsweet (i don't drink beer), but i would bet that it's there for the fish so i would call and have it checked out.

I agree with you guys. There are plenty of reasony to have it, but to keep illegal fish in it ain't one

They wouldnt have it in a TENT if they werent hiding it......yall mustv missed that point.

According to what I have read at the MDWFP site, they're not breaking the law. The only thing it says about possesion is you can only transport 7 daily creel limits per licensed fisherman. So, if there were 3 licensed fishermen in a vehicle they could have 21 limits of fish in their possesion.
