Just a friendly reminder about lake Washington and all other lakes

I know there's fixen to be alot of folks coming in from out of state and remember that on your YosYos


Yo-Yo Requirements:
All yo-yo's must have a waterproof or metal tag attached and visible above the water surface. The tags must contain the angler's full name and address. Yo-yo's must be attended on Lake Washington. Attended means devices must remain within sight of the angler during daylight hours.

That means you have to take them up at night EVERY NIGHT

Transporting Game
No person shall take in any one calendar day, no more than the daily creel or bag limit or bag limit of fish. No person at any time, by any means, or in any manner, transport more than seven (7) daily creel or bag limits of fish for each qualified angler present in the vehicle. A single angler may only transport his or her own limit(s) of fish, not to exceed seven (7) daily limits.

Good stuff to know. You must have copied and pasted that, not a typo anywhere. Lol

love it

you know it Cuz. Figured I'd put it up cause there's always some that askl how many limits they can take hoime. I Do KNOW they gonna be checking folks this year on transport limits and I've talked to a couple wardens about checking peoples fish at the ramp this year. I heard a guy yesterday at the ramp saying he caught his 39 limit Saturday then called a friend to come pick em up so he could keep on fishing and catching. Said he got 2 limits yesterday. WHY would you want to do that?

Because a thief won't pass up the opportunity to steal, no matter what it is they are actually stealing.

No doubt ATM. That and It seems to me more people are crappie fishing these days so we have to keep an eye on this valuable resourse or our kids and grand kids will only have stories of really big Crappie

DD, I take it that the game wardens hear the homeboys voices about all the the OoS'er ( those to the north) coming down in the spring and camping out and hauling out freezers full of the crappie. This is the frist I've read of this. As far as the yo-yo's go, one of the guys I work with got a fishing award for not picking his up @ Midway back last year. He left his out all nite and the game warden beat him back the next morning.

Why is it always the Out of Staters?

KNow a few that have Saw inside someones freezer in the past and there were thousands of filets. 4 people had a full sized box type freezer that was was slp full of only crappie filets. They came down to fill it and go back and sell the filets.

That's pretty bad right there but it's not just that, it's the folks that live here that get up in the morning during the spawn, catch their limit and then call someone to come switch coolers so they can go back out again. That's one thing that drives me batty. I was told by a warden you had to take them up each night unless you stayed out there with them and ran them.

nice post Don, them Oos ers and in staters alike should obey the laws,,, I can attest as a face I have hurt the under 6 fish limit several times, I never go to Mississippi to catch big fish, or lots of fish, I just like catching a buffet line when it short and the beer line when there cold, and visiting with the good ole boys and girls

Creel, I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, heck I've been in the same spot in Ark.----duck hunting. It was one of the OoS'er that help me get back across a ditch last year when I was wading down @ Sardis. If it weren't for great people like you that help out OoS'er like me, I'd be lost on Greers. Must say Thanks, again.

man, I never in my loife thought I'd be so into wanting folks to fo right by all this but I guess as I've gotten older I've become mroe aware of protecting out kids and grandkids futures. not sure what the deal is on Barnett but man it's in a major slump right now on size of fish. heck, really on numbers of fish this past year as well. We have no size limit and I've seen so many 8-10 inch fish tossed in a cooler it ain;t even funny. Wonder if that has anything to do with the lack of size and numners?

That freezer has been to Mississippi and back to wherever it goes so many times it should be wore out and falling apart by now.
