You think Md will do that for tidal water ? Right now theres no limit on tidal but 15 for non tidal I believe.
I figured they would have changed the tidal water limit by now. White perch will be the only fish left without a limit, but for how long.
10 is too few, 15 is about perfect. I rarely keep even 10, but if I was in the keeping mood and was able to catch that many good ones, 15 fish would make a good stopping point.
I don't usually keep them unless I don't have any fish in the freezer. When my kids were living at home 15 fish would be gone in no time.
Oddly PRFC has a 6 inch minimum on white perch and 24 creel limit.Quote:

I would hope you're right, but they seem to go on the more restrictive side.Quote:

I would think that 15 tidal and non-tidal is fine. I normally never keep that many for a single trip. I would like to see commercial fishing in tidal end or if thats not possible to limit the catch like commercial yellow perch is restricted by total pounds per year.
Many years ago I was buying some catfish bait in the DC fish Market. One of the mongers had a basket of crappie out with a sign that said "Crappie 2.95 per Pound".
Next day buying more the bait the same basket sat with no change in the amount of crappie sold.
Two days later I come back and the basket has maybe 6 fish in it and a new sign. "Rainbow Perch 3.25 per Pound"
It is all about the marketing..

It is Official the Potomac River limit on Crappie is 10 starting March 14th.
Capt Mike
I figured it would be ten.
Capt. Mike will you be having any walk on Crappie Spider Fishing Dates this season? I have never tried it and would like to this year if possible.
Yes the date we have slated is May 7th with 8 seats open total for two boats. Could be only 4 seats if I get an email back from a prospective client.
