Illinois varies, you have to check the regulations or read the signs posted at the waters (usually there is a sign somewhere regarding catch limits).
'Bama is 50 Bream (Bluegill, Redear, Green, Flier, Pumpkinseed, etc. aggregate)Quote:

Bluegill,crappie,yellow bass.No size limit.

.. we have all kinds of "limits" :p --- size limits, daily limits, possession limits.
Several years ago, KY placed the Redear Sunfish (Shellcracker) into the "Sport Fish Species" catagory. Daily limit was set to 20 ... possession to 40 ... but no minimum size limit.
As with alot of states, KY has varying limits ... depending on which waters you fish. Statewide limits rule, unless a specific body of water has special limits on certain species.
Remember, ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it .... KNOW the limit laws, wherever you fish ;)
There are no limits on Bluegill & the other "sunfish" species (exception being the Redear, statewide) except on Greenbo Lake (15/day creel limit).
Most of the specific lake limits are for LMB, SMB, Crappie, Channel Catfish, Trout, and Muskies.
Statewide .. Crappie limits are 30/day - 60/possession - no size limit. But, on most lakes, there is a size limit ... 9" or 10" And the KY/Barkley Lakes have a 20/day - 40/possession - 10" size limit. This is why one needs to know the current limits of whatever body of water you fish.
Kentucky also recently changed the interpretation (or rather explained it better) of what the "Possession Limit" means. Your possession limit is two days worth of the daily creel limit, after 2 or more consecutive days on the water. That's pretty much a standard ruling. Except now, the ruling states that "processed" (cleaned) fish do not count towards your possession limit !! This means that you can only have a limit per person, on day one ... two limits per person on day two ... of unlceaned (live or dead) fish. But, once those fish are cleaned, they no longer count towards your possession limit. The only problem is .... they don't say whether or not that ruling counts from day one, or day two, or day three & beyond. Personally, I wouldn't chance it until day three ;) (not that I have to worry that much about it :p )
... cp :cool:
... btw, we're allowed to use our 50 bream limit for live bait here in 'Bama.
No limits on crappie, perch or gills here in WA except for a few lakes and reservoirs where people have gotten greedy and hurt the populations by over fishing. The ones that I know of have a combined limit of 25 crappie and bluegill with a 9" minimum size on crappie no minimum size on gills and 25 perch with no minimum size limit. We even have one catch and release only bass lake now as well. State wide regulations on crappie, gills, sunfish, and perch is no limit or size though.
Up in zone 17 (Kawartha Lakes Area) in Ontario, Canada where I live we now (2010) have daily limits on yellow perch (50) crappie (30) and sunfish/bluegills (300 of which only 30 can be over 7.1 inches)
These are for sport licences only...conservation limits are lower...
Most other zones in the province are 50-30-50...
Possession limits are the same as daily limits
for crappie in nj they hafta be 8" minimum and 10 a day state wide regulation
Rock Bass, White Bass, White Perch,
Yellow Perch, Sunfish(bluegill,pumkinseed,redear,ect) Bullheads, White Catfish,
Suckers, Carp, Bowfin No minimum size 25 combined state wide regulation
Where are you seeing this info on the panfish and crappie? When I check the regs it says unlimited onQuote:

You are correct fisherdude.it used to be 50,and now has changed to unlimited.Way to many,lol.Try to get the 50 first,then you can move on to the unlimited,lol.
LOL, I had heard this 50 limit before and thought I was just not looking in the right place. Maybe it comes from San Carlos? I think they have a 50 limit don't they?
Probably was.But up there 50 fish equals about 100 pounds.That's a lot of filletting.That's an Indian Reservation lake to let you all know.
Minnesota is
10 Crappie
20 gills,sunny,pumpkinseed
JJ
In Kansas:
Crappie - 50
Bluegill, sunfish, etc. - no limit
There are some waters that have special limits.
Tom

In TN...
Bluegill / Bream - No size or creel limit
Shellcrackers - Creel limit of 20, no size limit
Crappie - Statewide 10" minimum, creel limit of 15 in Middle & East, 30 in West
These are the general rules, althought the limits do vary somewhat from lake to lake.
Arkansas
Except for a few small lakes with special regs.
Crappie 15 ,20, 30 , 50 depending where you fish. Most of the state is 20 above I-40 and 30 below interstate.
Bream (all species except Rock Bass ) is 50 , but no limit those under 4'' . We use those for bait, which is legal here.
Bass (Smallmouth, Spotted,Largemouth all combined) is 10 per day with special limits and lengths and number on Smallmouth in those limits.
White Bass is 25 (Stripers and Hybrids only 6 )
Sauger, Walleye, and Saugeye (combined total) 6
Trout is 6 with lots of special regs.
Catfish (Blue, Channel, Flathead) combined 10 with special regs ( some areas allow more) Bullheads no limit.

Flathead catfish - 5 fish
Northern pike - 2 fish - 30" minimum
Wiper - 2 fish
Striper - 2 fish
Paddle fish - 2 fish - 34" minimum
Crappie - 50 fish
White bass, bullhead, blue gill and all other legal species - no limit
Culling is not allowed once the daily limit has been reached - however you may continue to catch and release.
Possesion limit is 3x the daily limit.
In Missouri:
Crappie- 9" limit most places, 10" on a few others. Daily limit 15, Pos. limit 30
I believe most other panfish fall under a 20 fish aggreagate limit.
Here in Ontario (I know, I know it is a Province, not a State:-), it depends on where I am fishing (in which of the 20 divided zones in the Province). For example, in one zone where I fish most:
Conservation Fishing License Holder:
Large and/or Small Mouth (combined) Bass: 2
White and/or Black (combined) Crappie: 10
Bluegill/Sunfish: 25
Perch: 25
Full/Sports Fishing License Holder:
Large and/or Small Mouth (combined) Bass: 6
White and/or Black (combined) Crappie: 30
Bluegill/Sunfish: 50
Perch: 50
That is an interesting two tier licensing system. I presume the Conservation license cost less than the Full/Sport license?? Wonder if any of the states in the USA have such a setup?Quote:

Yes here in Ontario, Conservation license costs less (about $15 per year) than Sports license (about $25 per year)Quote:

Yes, you are correct. I fish at Lake Simcoe in Zone 16 (north of Toronto), and yes I am on Simcoe fishing board, too.:-) Thanks!Quote:

I bet if I combine all of the possession limits of all of the U.S. States and of all of the Canadian provinces, I won't be able to keep ANY fish of any size at all...LOL.
New York: Bluegill 50 any size--Perch 50 any size--Crappie 25/9" minimum
