Creel surveys in North Dakota have had a few questions regarding FFS for a few years.

I've only fished around FFS once and it did help us find more fish I don't feel it helped us catch more fish. I have had many days where I made the ice look like swiss cheese and caught the heck out of various species (accept walleye because I suck at catching those). To me one of the better things ND did was drop the keep limit on gills and crappie, granted now and days we don't eat fish as often with one of my daughters allergic to fish

It be pretty hard to enforce no ffs in Minnesota especially those using them in a ice house or portable since Minnesota dnr need a warrant to enter.

After fishing this tourney this weekend with a couple they help with finding the right structure but you still have to get fish to bite.

They come up anounce themselves ---- you zip down or open door.....


Braggers is what is at fault here. If everyone would be cool

That's still not authorization to come in even if you open the door, minnesota dnr have to get permission or a warrant to enter.
I agree if everyone wouldn't brag about the bountiful harvest of slab meat, but some Karen or Chad calls up that dnr hotline or emails the dnr about the success. Dnr gets swamped with complaints and bamb we get the pondering of the possibility of banning. At one time one could use dynamite or electric shock to fill one's bag now look, thats illegal to.

They can do verbal warrant if something is going on. What do most anglers including myself do --- you either invite them in or go outside. Its going to be a pia if they pass something - because your ice prirate next to you (karen) will report ya. Lets hope this and WI just drop it and move foward. Randy Blaukat keeps on jabbin -- hopefully that stays south.

FLW and that new league both put rules into place with restrictions. IMO that makes it worse as the DNR will eyeball this further.
