So it's been in effect for a couple weeks what's you trollers verdict. Is it hurting your fish catching. I would say its not based on the pics I've seen and what single polers can do with one pole in just a couple hours. Trollers should have no problem with three rods catching fish. So what y'all say?
I agree. Limits are still being caught every day. It would be just as easy for most to catch 20 with the same 3 poles too. Them boys been killin em!!! Like you said, just look at the pics!!!!!
15 is 15 , might have gotten the yard mowed also with 5 poles .:biggrin makes no difference if they are biting .
It just looks funnyAttachment 121859

Hammer em
I dont like it mainly because its an odd number and it leaves a spot open on my rack and it looks unballanced with two poles on one side and one on the other. I have mild OCD and this buggs the crap outta me.Quote:

The man and the other boy took the boat to another bed before another approaching boat could jig it. The boy that was freezing didn't catch anything he was trying to stay warm. They finally picked him up. Makes people do crazy stuff. Only in Mississippi.

I got an idea! Just wear a blinder or keep 1 eye closed while you fish!If 1 eye gets tired switch to the other!Or just what Game and Fish want is go somewhere else like Enid!:dono:biggrinQuote:

Get ez on it make a three pole holder . Lol all on one side will tip the boat over .
I will ask again. But I already know the answer. This is hands down the best spring I've had on Sardis in 12 years of fishing. I've only caught 1 10 inch fish and 2 11 1/2 inch fish. This lake has turned over to big fish. All thanks to the 12 inch rule. This year will be one to remember. Iam glad they lowered the creel and pole. Hope it helps and maintains for a good while. Last few years have been well worth the wait. They bring that size back up to 12 inch and everyone should be happy for a good while.Quote:

I don't fish to catch fish. I like fishing and the good company of good friends. Fish are just a bonus. One day in the post-apocalyptic world, there will be no fish in the waters.Quote:

10" would have been dead wrong. The pole limit and the creel limit is dead on. The 7 limit transport is a crying shame. I see your point and understand what your saying. Something has to be done. I would rather them change a little now than keep things unchanged and in a few years from now Sardis turns over the other way. I just don't see any fish catching difference with 3 rods vs 5. You will still limit out with no problem that was my question for the post. I know it's 5 fewer fish. If the limit was 50 people could get 50. I was just curious.Quote:

These folks are not "hired" by us and the Code says absolutely nothing about requiring MDWFP to get general public approval prior to making, or changing, these decisions. It would be nice if everything went my ( or your) way, but it just don't work like that. I think the Commission is doing a great job in making North Mississippi the crappie capital of the U.S.Quote:

No bashing but just rather stating that Pops has single poler envy. He is anti-trolling 100 percent and since the 3 pole regs have zero impact on him he thinks everyone else should be good with them.Quote:

Pops, you would have freaked out today with what I saw while fishing Pickwick, my son and me were fishing with 3 poles each (which is about all I can really fish and keep an eye on) and we were passing buy a fellow in the boat by himself and he was in the middle of the boat and I counted 8 yep I said 8 poles in rod holders with line out the back and he had one in his hand that he was reeling in. I looked at my son and told him that I didn't have any idea how he could possibly be able to watch all those poles LOL thing is it didn't matter one bit to me at all. I like single pole fishing at times, I like casting also but I don't do it as much as I do trolling with MORE THAN ONE POLE but its my choice to do it that way. thing is that how ever a man wants to fish shouldn't be a bearing on how I fish and it aint !!!! Im gonna enjoy my fishing trip and aint worried bout what someone else is doing to catch fish. I fish to relax and not sit and count how many poles are in a boat but when I saw this coming up towards us, well it caught my eye for sure :)
Fixxin to get EZ to design me an yo-yo rig for my boat so I can run 25 of them.:biggrin
Well said. My sentiments exactly. I'm good with six rods for two. But three rods for one just isn't trolling!Quote:

I have to ask? What is wrong with someone taking there limit of fish be it 7 days worth home? No different than the locals that take home a limit each day of the week. Or the boy's fishing out of those little 8ft boats and 4 wheelers. I have seen those local guys take a limit home at 11am and be back on the water at 2 for there next limit. But could hear the same guys crying because these people from Mo or Ill are taking crappie home.
Come on guys they fish legal, pay there $$ to do it. And as long as there doing it legal whats the issue? No different then guides taking out 3 limits each day? @ guys paying and the guide's Limit. I have to say I love fish but can't eat that many fish LOL
Wish the limit was 10 per person a day and 12" in all waters in Tn and Ms :Rofl
Except for experimenting with small 4 rod trolling rigs, I've never fished with more than 3 poles my whole life and have many a limit to my credit. And the vast majority of these limits were caught on just one rod. After seeing the quantities and quality of mature breeding crappie diminish over the past many years, I think it's high time the state stepped up to put limits on the take by these traveling fleets of trawlers on our waters.
