[QUOTE="snow2, post: 443675, member: 7990"] Interesting read,been years since ive fished d.l.,years ago our goto perch hot spot was 6 mile bay,evening hours our ice holes filled with fresh water shrimp attracted to our shack lights. As far as creel surveys,been thru this on our premire walleye lake from years passed ( mille lacs lake) before trible gill netting which all but shut down our non native sport fishing. But before slots started creel ppl were at every public and resort access,no problem at first checking our catch until we were informed dnr was compiling data for slots,so when checked...slow fishing sir,no fish. By mid 90's slots,first year 6 fish daily limit 14 to 16" walleye limits and no possession limits for non native sport fishermen, then following year 4 walleye limit,then two walleye then catch and release only,we had a couple years of no live bait or night fishing all this as natives slaughtered the walleye population. My point is maybe ND gfp folks are leaning towards slots? And if they are creel ppl are not your friend but looking out for lake health and species population. Just a thought that slots might be on the radar,,no more catch and keep breeder females,ideal healthy spawning female eyes 19" to 25"s is what these ppl told us. Today mille lacs is busting at the seems walleye population two fish keep limit 19 to 21"s or one over 28"s trophy eye.we ice fished last winter during a no keep winter season just cpr'd walleye bite hot n heavy on mid lake structure all fish caught were 25" to a couple 28's big perch mixed in.,this slot deal killed the tourist business around the lake,mom n pop resorts and restaurants belly up,alot of places burnt down mysteriously local natives plan has been to take land back around the lake and 12 mid mn counties by choking off the tourist business local tribes with a pocket full of casino $$ buying up lake shore property for pennies on the dollar. So curious if slots will ever hit the mega ND walleye lake D.L.. [/QUOTE]
