[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 158716, member: 3373"] Everybody has an idea of what is best for the fish. Most are not supported by biological data. Fish are like all other wildlife, if you have enough habitat (water) and food (baitfish), fisherman with current rules and limits will do quite well. Over fishing on the smaller bodies of water is possible but on the big lakes, not so likely. Look around on the big lakes on any given day and there are spots on the lake where a boat isn't even visible. Hard to overfish a lake when there are fish that have never seen a hook. This argument has been going on for years and I haven't seen a decrease in the fishing on most bodies of water in this state. Where there is a decrease it's usually a result of less water. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Then again, it's closer to spring so it's time to start another argument, even one's that come up every spring. The one idea I do kind of like is the one where if you come from a state that closes the season for a period of time, the same rule applies to you in this state. At least that's one I haven't heard before. [/QUOTE]
