More laws are pointless and will accomplish nothing. We already have some of the most stringent catfish regulations anywhere. Lack of personnel to enforce said laws is one problem, and that ones not going away. Whether we like it or not, it just doesn’t make much sense for officers to devote many man-hours to catfish. The primary problem has nothing to do with Ohio. As mentioned numerous times, Ohio doesn’t set the regulations for the Ohio River. Changes need to be made in Kentucky, and until they are, someone of you are barking up the wrong tree.
Guys I am going to the meeting Because I KNOW that if we as a group dont show up and the CF,s do we LOST I am going because I support what you represent. Protect your river however small I will do the same for In. I have a NR Annual Ohio Licence so My voice is good

I went to Xenia ,I was impressed by what I saw, met several catfishermen just known on the net the fisheries had a bullet point presentation prepared By Scott Hale that I thought was pretty good we didnt have anything like that in Indiana the Main problem that I saw was Paylakes every thing else was 1000% better than any thing in Indiana , This Ohio river Fisheries meeting could be the forum that Penn.,W.Va. and Ohio pressure In.,Ill. and espically Ky. to get on board with some sound management practices .Kudos to Ohioon what they have done
If he followed the guy to the lake the leo could the same thing they are just for the most part collecting a paycheck take the easy way. check people at known fishing sites and big lakes not investigating the other issues. revenue agents
Anyone else have any notes fromt he meeting on Saturday. I was not able to make the meeting but was hoping to get involved. Any additional information would be helpful. Thanks
I do believe that we got our points looked at, especially with everyone's backgrounds at the meeting..... Now we just have to keep pressing the issue and wait and see what happens.
Any complaints about Commerical fishermen in the Markland Pool?
