DWR Reg Changes for next year

[SkunkedAgain]

I'd still like to see the additional rods for Cutler ice fishing since it is so hard to find fish there in the winter, but I'm glad they dropped the Cutler crappie limit. Seems like the ones that chase crappie on Cutler are the bucket harvesters and so once the fish finally build up their numbers, the bucket crew shows up and wipes out the fish for five or six years... Anyway I'm happy that the F&G look at suggestions and act upon them... Pretty sure I may have been the culprit that put that Cutler crappie limit change on their radar.. Don't expect it is a highly studied body of water so I don't' think they would have done that without a suggestion... Maybe so, but I expect it didn't hurt to ask about it... but I did try to get them to allow more rods for ice fishing Cutler and that didn't happen, so you don't always get everything that you want... I expected since very few ever ice fish that pond that they might do it, but I guess the ice is so dangerous out here, maybe they didn't want to encourage ice fishing here due to the hazards... I'd really like to be able to set a rod for cats, one for carp and jig for crappie and see what will bite, but oh well guess I've got to choose my two best options... Later J
