walleye and perch limits 2017 increase!

[Tangled Lines]

I have not read the law myself, but what I have seen on other sites, posted by knowledgeable individuals, is that the rod and reel bag limit ceiling is cast in stone (or at least by law). It can be lowered, but it cannot by raised unless the actual law is changed. Thus, it will stay at 6 for walleye (4 in March-April) and 30 for perch.

I agree with Tangled. I think I'll will wait for the Official announcement of limits due out shortly. Look at the 20% just what does that mean yes 1 to your daily catch, give me a break....I have been happy with the limits as set currently be it for walleye or perch.

I don't think there is a law on limits it's just up to the ODNR to set them by May 1. I hope they don't increase because the one's in place have worked fine.

I got word today from a friend in the know that the state will release the new limits either today or tomorrow. As far as my source knows there will be no changes from the past several years. Walleyes will remain at 6 per angler per day and yellow perch will remain at 30 per angler per day in the western basin. I didn't ask him about the central and eastern basins but they will most likely remain the same.

Are you the Capt. John who worked radio station WHHH 1440 with me in Warren Oh a few years back? He had a radio show about fishing and I was a frequent guest. His boat was Tangled Lines. Is that you?

No, I previously owned the boat owned by Wakina.
