For the record: KY Lake and Lake Barkley size limit is 10"!!
Folks, there is no way that anyone will ever make me believe that you don't know what the size limit is. And if you actually don't... you need to stay at home to plant your garden instead of coming to Kentucky and robbing us of our natural resources.
I had several friends down from north central Kentucky the last three days to fish. They rented a cabin at Aurora and the rest of the place was filled with OOS anglers. The shear volume of sub 10" fish that I saw being filleted and carcasses filling the trash cans was just about nausiating.
When I mentioned the size limit, "well, we didn't know and neither does anybody else that we have asked".. that doesn't cut it!!! :mad:
The KDFWR publishes fishing guides that can be found at most every gas station and bait shop surrounding both lakes. There are also bright yellow signs at every public boat ramp and most private ones that were placed there by the KDFWR telling you what the size and creel limit is on fish.
I know for fact that the MO anglers that I met at the cleaning table last night were near the signs because they lauched right beside me on Friday and then darn near swamped us later.
That kind of stuff is inexcusable. I hope the CO's start patrolling the cleaning stations and passing out hefty fines to go along with your coolers full of 7" crappie.
