Given how long its been since you could even catch a Sauger(JACK) I hope this will keep a few from keeping under sized fish. All of those fish would have been legal this time next year and also would have spawned this February. According to the report the fine will be in excess of $2000 and possible jail time for poaching. The sad thing is the game warden had to keep the fish for evidence and could not place the fish that were still alive back. But on the good side they do not go to waste as once they were entered in as evidence, with pictures and such I was told by Tony of Cooleys groceries that they were taken to a nursing home to feed them.
Anyway as to the conditions below the gville dam they still have 13 flood gates open for some reason. All the water around the bridges up in the lake is down almost 1 and half to 2 feet. Guess they are working on the winter pool low level. The bank bridge fishing was slowww this morning ,only kept 2 caught 7 more but only about 7 inches worth of crappie in them HA. The fall of 2016 looks to be a bumper crop of fish given the number of small fish being caught this year under the bridges!!!
