Slot sizes would be so much better. This proposal encourages you to keep big breeders over anything else.
Its called " special interests groups "If you notice, it's happening to a lot of our outdoors resources
Great discussion. However, the DEC will do whatever they want regardless of survey results. My thoughts.. 25 perch, bluegill and crappie limit is enough... Now I’ll rattle some cages... pass a law forbidding the sale of any fish caught in NYState. Whoa ...... before we get into a big discussion just consider where the walleye population in Oneida Lake would be had they not forbidden the sale of them years ago.. With all the electronics and new gear coming out it is easier than ever to catch fish in great numbers. If anyone thinks the conservation law enforcement budget isnt going to be cut didn’t read Cuomo’s budget. How much easier is it for the DEC to check on a few fish markets than trying to find the pirates on the ice ?Be nice to an old man and don’t bash me to pieces...
i still would be intrested in some sort of slot for eyes in oneida,,,,,15 to 18 4 fish limit and 1 over say 24.... for total of 5
There’s a few other lakes that should be added to the new initiative I won’t mention. DEC has been incorporating lake specific rules in the special regulations for some time, it’s encouraging to see them address panfish as the resource becomes more pressured. Frankly most bluegills I catch worth filleting are infested with black dots/grubs and get tossed back. It would have been nice to see perch included but maybe DEC is working something up on that
