I got this from ole DW and he said good read, so I read it and it is a good read, might give y'all that fish loz something to think about

Thanks Beagle for sharing .

You know I don't care about the length limit on crappie but it would be nice to have a length limit on Aholes and the boats they drive... expecially when they're coming back in the fishing coves! Just sayn so that's my :twocents:fish

Deb

no problem here

Thanks Beagle and Dan, I like the 10" rule, It gives you a better filet.

Agree 100%! With the flooding last year fewer fish were caught, by me anyway, so hopefully there will be lots of 10" for all. The ones I've caught this winter have been larger than normal too.

Well I drive a fair distance to fish and love to eat crappie. The expenditures I have to enjoy fish is enough that if all I can find is 9-9.5 in fish I do not mind cleaning and eating them. I do not mind 10in. rules but believe lots of folks who maybe really watch their expenditures and want to get some fish for themselves or for the kids to catch do not need a larger length limit. I do not think the eating quality of a crappie is determined by size I love all of them.

agree 100% and I could go either way on this. I would like to see the size get better but I also don't mind eating a 9 inch fish bc the smaller fillets fry better IMO. I have noticed the past few years that the size at LOZ has gotten a lot better but IDK why. I remember, i think, around 2011 to 2012 the size was not good for me. With everything being said the size at the LOZ is not bad at all, just look at what it takes to win a Crappie Masters.

You have been catching some nice fish from the pictures you have been posting.

I would like to see a 10in. limit on all Mo. lakes.
