I’ll support that FH. I know you’ll frame it for it’s true intent. 

$40 gets a guide license. I’ve met and seen pics of guys I’d throw out of their own boat. Before leaving the dock. 

Just sayin’.  

Yes to #52!

That was  one of my issues FH. Raise it from $10, to what...it just seemed like hitting fungoes into center field. 

The guide gifting also. I was stuck on that one hard. My memory went to folks who pay to take whitefish home. And just don’t get the program. Granted it was difficult for folks this last season. I guess you gotta learn to fish your way out of a bucket. no guarantees.

Direct me different if I’m wrong. I’d like to see that fishery less exploited. A 5ish range. Anybody whispers the commercial quotas, they’re full of goby crap. Ugh.  

I’ll pull at least ten year “official”  documented growth rate charts for that hammer to stop getting dropped.  

I know it’ll take a few steps and seasons to get any balls rolling on bag and size limit changes. 

Thanks for bearing my gripe out. 

thought I would move this to the top

thanks to Chippman for the address

Yes to #52!! Next year I will propose a resolution that requires Walleye guides to purchase a state license and submit monthly harvest reports like the salmon industry does. The industry has grown to large not to be tracked more closely.

I also suggest they raise the cost of the two day sport fishing license which includes the Great Lakes stamp (currently $14) rather than raising the cost of the stamp for everybody. That put's some of the responsibility back on the charter industry rather than the weekender. 

Ach!! Mis-hit..”no more restriction” on trappers. 

The rules and regulations proposals  are pretty straightforward. We vote hard if it affects our home fish & critter habitats. Dang good sense when your pulse is on the resource. 

I vote everytime...”YES” when the concerns and inputs of the locals are cited. I know where they’re coming from. Drop panfish from 25 to lower limits. If them local folks say  it, that’s how it should  go.  

It will be an enforcement issue. From what I understand, some people who fish the Manitowoc Cnty lakes, which are reduced limit lakes, don’t read the regs and believe it to be 25.  

Thank goodness I’ve spent 50+ years plus on the water, studying, reading, and seeing how lakes change & their usage changes.  Place different regs if the ones in place aren’t working. 

I’ll say right now, I voted yes on all the walleye slots proposals. They make sense. Call me Grendahl. I’ve read plenty of ‘eye recovery programs from across the country that worked dang well. 

I was no opion on the north bass lakes regs proposals this year for the most part. I fished there when the size structure was jumbo perch size, 12”. That was the early ‘80’s. Kinda surmised that might come back after a bit when the 14” minimum was put in place. 

Trophy musky waters going 40 to 50. Dead horse. The 40 lakes carry 50’s. If they don’t, 50 will do nothing. 

Sorry trappers. I’m so out of touch with that. I didn’t know which of of your proposals were on the up. Not familiar with the systems that are already in place. Seemed to make sense except to put more restriction on you. If it’s self-imposed, I support it!

Deer is throwing too many things  out there with too many unexplained acronyms. Too many chefs over the camp griddle. Nothing about funding. Nothing about the acronyms. Too many heads of bull crap feeding bull crap.  

The rest of the land and water resource proposals at county, state, and national level sound all sexy and good...they were slick and slimy on the wording...they have too many agendas and unknowns there...and that is where the anti’s & profiteers are finding a way in. 

No politics. Truth as it hit hit me, Observation & reporting.

Not the intent, Men. And the Women who Love us and rather try hard to understand what makes us tick when the fish don’t bite.

Keep your stick on the ice

Ditto, on the comment space allowed. I counted & I was well under 100 characters. And that was including word spacing.

I don’t recall a year when I answered no opinion so many times. Too many of the subjects and questions seemed too vague for me to go one way or the other. Seemed good on the surface but were just too fishy smelling for me. Like they were initiated by the anti outdoor sports crowd’s agenda. They are getting more involved in the Spring Hearings process. 

I filled it out.  Twice I did not have enough room to provide all of my wording on the comments.  That kind of irritated me.  Too many questions about not allowing dogs to hunt.  In my opinion it's your dog and if you want to stand the risk of that dog getting injured or killed then it's your problem, not the DNR's!  But personally I wouldn't use my dog to hunt wolves, she wouldn't last six seconds!

And of course in the Waukesha County Resolutions we have kat Raddatz and her friends with their usual attempts at banning any/all use of dogs, all hunting, and many other outdoor pursuits.  

Thanks Guys for the link & reminder. 

Completed here. 

Why are there no questions on Walleye Limits on Green Bay? No one needs a 5 fish limit. Should be 3 fish per person.  The same thing is going to happen to the walleyes as the perch in the 1980's.  Also guides should be limited to 1 trip per day and no gifting their limit.

Thanx for the link and , DONE !
