Wahoo! I’m putting the dock in this weekend then and getting set for opener. Thanks for the update Derek.

Sounds reasonable. I would like to see a 2 fish limit, but I know from data bag limit won’t effect overall harvest much. Still, it gives me a degree of comfort in case the bite goes wild (unlikely with current lake dynamics). Thanks for all your hard work on this issue Scott. All of us that love the lake pay close attention to this issue and your participation make me feel like I have a small voice in the process.

Covebayguy’s idea of allowing harvest of 1 fish over 18″ sounds reasonable. Harvest would primarily come from the class of fish that is most common in the lake, but would be sensative to overharvest with allowing only 1 per angler. For large reproduction female fish (22″+), anglers could use their own value judgement as to what was to big to keep, but even if everyone was keeping those fish, the 1 per angler should keep the harvest within the treaty limits.

Guys: My two cents as a cabin owner and lover of the fishery is that I would rather have too protective a slot which means fewer fish taken out than risking health of the fishery to placate people who want to take a Walleye meal home everytime or every other time. Don’t get me wrong, I love walleye fillets, but am risk averse to loosening harvest to entice more people to fish the lake. I would propose a slot of 18-22″ with a 1 or max 2 fish limit. Just my take on it- a lot of good arguments here on the board and I respect them, but wanted to get mine heard. Thanks.

Have I mentioned that you look marverlous? Pick me!

Count me in!

I plan on fishing the south west (Anderson, Rocky) on Wednesday and Thursday night, then off to the pheasant opener. We caught 17 eyes this past Saterday night from 9-3 a.m. on Lipstick Reef Runners, Clown Husky Jerks, and the old model Banana Thundersticks (I curse the day they changed the design!!) I just bought a cabin on the north end 7 miles north of Garrison, and think it would be great to meet for coffee or a soda/beer (beer for me: ) Let me know if a group decides to get together and I’ll be there. Thursday morning or night is preferable for me. GOOD LUCK TO ALL SITE USERS THIS FULL MOON. LETS ALL REMEMBER TO BE SAFE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. NOW GO GET THOSE HAWGS!

I want in in a 30″ way. Lets go get those hawgs James. P.S. Dustin, do you need your boat washed or lawn mowed? I’m not above bribery or begging!
