    Wisconsin won’t crack down on fishing tourneys

    MADISON, Wis. — Call it the bill that got away – again.

    State Rep. DuWayne Johnsrud’s proposal to increase state regulation of fishing tournaments made it through the Assembly for a third consecutive legislative session.

    But the Senate, for a third time, never even brought it to a vote.

    Johnsrud, a Republican, said tournaments need tougher rules because they can deplete fish populations and crowd lakes, rivers, boat landings and parking areas, making it difficult for others to enjoy the waters.

    His bill would have expanded the authority of the state Department of Natural Resources to keep the tournaments in check. Johnsrud said his bill fell victim to feelings among Republican senators that the powers of the department should be cut.

    The current permit system for fishing tournaments applies only to organized events with $500 or more in prizes and more than 20 boats or 40 participants.

    Unless it’s resurrected during an extraordinary session of the Senate, Johnsrud’s plan to regulate fishing tournaments is dead until at least January, when the next legislative session begins.

    “I never give up,” Johnsrud said.

    Also in LaCrosse paper. Link

    Also found below, is this the same or different bill?

    Quote:

    Madison, WI – A Madison legislator wants to give the DNR authority to just say no to fishing tournaments. “The DNR cannot deny a tournament promoter a permit, even if there is more than one tournament on the same water on the same day or weekend,” said Rep. DuWayne Johnsrud (R-Eastman).

    Johnsrud said he will introduce legislation to change the current tournament situation. Johnsrud’s bill, if passed, would require the DNR to rewrite its tournament fishing rules to better protect fishery resources and reduce pressure on public access facilities. Johnrud said he wants the DNR to put together a committee with tournament people, regular sportsmen and Conservation Congress members to draft new rules. The bill would prevent tournaments from having regulations, such as bag limits, that are more liberal than the rules that apply to other anglers

    Status and text of the bill can be found here.

    This issue isn’t going to go away. We face it here too in ND.
