How about a voluntary 1 fish per day limit.
We put up a thread nicely worded showing Tim's article and some statement about pledging to adhere to a 1 fish per day limit and ask people to sign on.

Sort of like a pledge card to United Way only this would be a pledge to voluntarily adnere to a limit lower than the law allows.

As part of it we also have a petition to ask that the limit be reduced. So in signing up you do to things , you pledge to take only 1 per day and you sign a petition to ask that the limit be lowered.

??Like idea ??? don't like??

There should be a seasonal limit for rec fisherman. Dont know if its possible sorta like a deer tag. After all how many bass do you need to eat per season? A keeper bass is enough for a meal for many familys and a big fish will feed many people. Dont know what we as a group can do but we better form and implement a plan soon. It seems as if the fish hogs are far better represented that us. Like my dad used to say its all about the money!

I agree with the spirit behind a 36 inch limit , I think if you try to squeeze too hard , nobody will sign up and/or honor their pledge. One fish at 28 is a really easy thing to agree to and in theory would reduce a lot of fish being taken. We could say no fish or 1 fish at 48 and nobody would do it.

Anyway , I'm just pointing out that a little improvement people might go for is better than a big improvement hardly anyone will go for or honor when the time comes to decide on a specific fish.
