I didn't think there were size or limits on crappie. Not sure though bc I don't fish for them

 

Looked it up, Berlin is listed on the site specific regs, so yes. 9 inches and 30 limit

 

Goes on all the time at nimi too

These fish are so small I couldn't even imagine being able to eat them

Very sad

But it's a free dinner I guess

Yep & Atwood don't have the size limit there this year . But you need to get nice crappie to get any meat off it . Give them enough rope & they'll hang themselves .

 

If you have a cell phone, enter the DNR's phone number and everytime you see a violation like that ......call them. They need our eyes and ears to help them.

 

I think they grind them up bones and all and make fish patties out of them. I see it all the time at ladue. I guess if you can't catch anything worth filleting that's what you do.

 

my phone was actually broke both times lol. i dont really crappie fish either but i knew there was a size limit i just dont like seeing that, just like i dont seeing all the trash they leave behind that i pick up.

 

i know if they are keeping the crappie like that, you know if they get an 10" 'eye its going in the bucket too. where can i get the dnr phone #'s

Well Ohio has to take some responsibility too! With these lake specific rules. And lack of enforcement too! A lot of people just can't keep p with them all. I know that's not a good reason. But rules should be the same through the state. Their are no limit on crappie or size at all except for special lakes. and lots just cant remember or keep track. I for one will say I try hard. But I don't keep Panfish under 12" any way. But did realize Berlin was included in that either.
Sportsman are to blame also. When a person see's some one breaking the law its their responsibility to report or say some thing. Not to the point of getting shot or something. But a little nudge making sure they know the law.
I learned a long time ago a person who wont "RAT" out some one isn't a good guy. Just a scared one. So se a phone and call the police. But don't go complaining unless your part of the cure. Or that's my opinion and how i raised my kids.

Them 10 inchers have a nice fillet. Keep calling the tip line. they will show up dressed as fishermen.

What is so difficult about the site specific regs? There is no need to be able to remember or keep track of all of them. You're given a booklet with the regs when you get your license. If you get it online, then you need to print out the regs booklet too. The site specific regs are only a few pages in the booklet. If anyone can't remember them or aren't familiar with them for the specific water they are going to fish then they need to take a couple of minutes to review them for that water before they go. That's part of one's responsibility in order to be able to fish. If that's too much trouble for anyone then they shouldn't be fishing.

 

Said I didnt have a problem. But there are many that do. I understand doing it with game fish but pan fish is a little ridiculous. Lol!
