Has anybody heard if the perch and walleye bag limits are going to be lowered .
I believe the new info come out in May.
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission will meet sometime in March, it consists of a bi-national board of fishery managers from Michigan, New York, Ohio, Ontario, and Pennsylvania. They will determine what the total allowable catch (TAC) will be based upon the best science currently available to them. Those numbers will be released in late March or early April and those numbers will then be divided up between the different jursidictions that makeup The Great Lakes Fishery Commission and the 2012 bag limits will be set from those numbers by each jurisdiction. So it could be mid to late April before we will know but most likely late March or early april they will release what the 2012 bag limit will be for Ohio.Quote:

Does not matter if its 25 or 80 perch, I put my money on Gettin Jiggy still getting schooled in the perch offs ;)Quote:

Well I hope my source is correct.. unless the total allowable catch is lower than reported a week ago I believe the limit will stay at 6 fish. But I guess if I am wrong I won't trust that source anymore. So many rumors.Quote:

My source said almost the same thing except he seemed almost positive that the perch limit will be going back to 25 this year.Quote:

Any time you want to go give me a call. Your right Ron is sitting back saying if them boys really had a clue we wouldn't be on the water for 10 hrs to catch 90 perch.
Sounds good BBQ season is here!Quote:
