well there you go
THAT is statewide like lakes without other regulations. Also that is intent not law yet. The reservoirs will have direct rules ie: Sardis 10" 15 limit.
Feb 19, 2013 is the effective date of the public notice. If they approve the changes, they will go into effect Mar 16, 2013.
They can issue a new "intent" before the Feb 19th date and that intent can put it back to the way it is now or whatever else they want to try, if one is not issued then it becomes regulation.
Looks that way but the dates are wrong today is the 13th not the 16th.
Signed it and was adopted on the 16th of JANUARY
My bad was thinking February. If there isn't another intent before the 19th then that's the new regulations starting on the 19th.
Sardis and other lakes are listed specifically if you read the link.Quote:

The public could voice their opinions to the MDWFP headquarters, in writing by February 15, 2013.
Yikees is more schooled on this than I. I think MDWFP took a notice of intent to the commission on January 16. There is then a 30 day comment period. Then a vote on February 16th. Then 30 days until it becomes effective, or March 16th.
Or something like this.
You guys know more about it than me, but the way I read it makes me think it goes into effect Feb 19. :confused: as if it is a done deal.
Sent from my dang phone
I talked to MDWFP in Jackson this morning. The Sardis Reg. is being revised to 11", 15 fish limit, 3 poles per person, and 40 fish boat limit. It will be posted in the next couple of days, With NO discussion period, and will go into effect about 30 days later.
going to 3 pole per person on all the big 4's????
These are new rules for Sardis
Still havent issued a new "intent", unless done so before the 19th then the original intent will stand. Sounds like someone is blowing smoke, we will see. Not doubting you Pops, your info is spot on as far as I have seen just havent seen a new intent. Not really sure they have to issue one, may just ammend he old one.
