What is everyones thoughts on this?
If it is going to change, what type of change do you think would be best?
Until Andrew there was not a size limit and the fishing was good. With the amount of under size (10 to 12 inch) fish being caught it would be nice to have a slot limit say 13 to 15 with maybe 3 over and a 10 creel!! This would make it fun to go fish bass and allow you to bring a good mess home.
I say 5 fish 14 inches and 5 under. With the price of gas you need something to bring home. Not everyone has the luxury of living next to the spillway or write off on their taxes like the tournament fishermen do. And not to mention bringing kids fishing and they cant understand that you have to let a 13 and 3/4 fish go, witch is mostly what everyone catches .
From what I have read about changing the 14" size restriction I do remember any talk about a slot being talked about....based on that I do not think they will do that.....I can not tell you how many 13 7/8" bass I have thrown back.....it hurts to do that.....
If the 14 inch limit is not dropped then the wildlife and fisheries research group should be done away with and the money spent on stocking more hybrid stripped bass in False River that prigram worked well....tknight
