reduced bag limit Winnebago system

Effective 04/01/2020 daily bag on walleyes is reduced to 3 fish no size limit. Details on dnr website. 

I have talked to a few guys and they say they will cull to get there limit of bigger eyes  Culling is not allowed in Wisconsin

The ceded territory is 5 a day, 3 from 1 lake, other 2 from a different lake. 5 total

How about this for an idea keep the limit 5 but only 1 line per angler state wide this would probable crush the charters on Lake Michgan but would be fair for the fish just my opinion and I have been wrong before but it seems If you get your limit with 1 line your working harder for those fish  Thanks

I don’t think it will work out well. In general the people who fish the system a fair amount have a personal slot limit of somewhere in the 13-20” range. I foresee a lot of culling for bigger fish and the 20”+ fish taking a hit just for the extra meat to make up for the meat they would have got from 5 smaller fish. 

If anything needed to be done, it was to reduce the limit from March 1- opener from 5 to 2 fish. 

I hope this takes some of the pressure off the 12" fish, hopefully some of those get released now.

Unfortunately this will just push many to the Bay with the higher limit yet.
