 :scratch: I don't fish for sunfish either :tut: :mooning: & almost all of 'em I do catch accidently go back. I'd rather catch them again instead eating them because they're usually nice fish. There's at least 20-30 Mennonites over at the resort ~ late August or early September every year though & I'm certain they take everything they can. :rolleyes:  I wouldn't be really surprised if they change their mind & go somewhere else now with the new regs here.  :happy1: :cool:

:scratch: It should keep some of the meat hunters I know away though.  :pouty: :tut:  :mooning:     
:sleazy: :nerd: :evil:
if you're referring to me I can leave all them little stunted snot rockets alone in your system 🤭 :mooning: it's the only thing I fish for there!! :sleazy: :rotflmao: :happy1:
Naw, you can take all of them picklers you want outta here. The more, the better.  :happy1: In fact, I even take some of the better <22" I get now. We keep a few meals & the BIL likes 'em so I usually give them some to eat too, which is mostly during Lent for them.  :cool:

we never made it over there last year for some reason????? i noticed they pretty thin across the back, even compared to the ones on bowstring  :scratch: :scratch: they are however perfect pickling material!!!!!!!!

due to proximity......we usually stay in little sand but if  that channel is deep enough we will fish along that shoreline too!!!!!!!

its wierd though as many of them little slimers as we've caught over there, we have never got one over 26 and very few in the 22-26 inch slot??????/

The neighbor & I have been getting 1 or 2 over 26" the last couple years. He's had a couple 30-32" that he's kept, in fact. Mine have been more like 28" & have went back. We don't fish that end of the lake much though. The slot fish are just about as rare as the over 26" but not quite.

 :scratch: The way I understand it, the new regs are just a 5 fish daily limit but you can still have the same possession limit of 20 sunfish.

 Yea Glenn Little Turtle is five but I guess I really don't mind a whole lot. I do a lot of fishing during the year so I'm more in to catching than keeping as I get older. As long as we get enough for a fish fry when we are up that is all we really care about. I think it will help in the long run. Other lakes like Grave and Little Bow are also five so just one more on the list. The nice thing is it's so nice and close to the cabin but catch and release is fun. Less time cleaning and more time for cards and beer.     :happy1:

Went down to the NW access this mornin, 1st time for me, & I could still count 7 houses out on the lake. Most were down a bit south of that access but a couple were ~ 100yds north & there was still 1 up near CR 35. Somebody had plowed a bunch, 3-4', of snow down in front of the pressure ridge at the bottom of the ramp but it looked like it wasn't a problem getting around it on the north side, yet

 Yeah, I went down to the 1 that we went out of when dakids & crew were up here. I pulled in 1 on 35 on Sunday but did a 3 pt at the entrance as I didn't want to get stuck. Probably could've made it but :scratch: According to the 10 day we have a week of 40* starting next Tuesday. Could get pretty sloppy after that.

 :scratch: Pretty sure I ran the wheeler & blade down the drive at least once a week in February, glenn. We might of had 3-4" a couple of those times but no big totals. Alway the light, fluffy stuff that would drift some up here by our garage. Could be quite different up your way. Looked like they had plenty up at the meat raffle when we've been there, so......................... :confused:

A sled & a SxS with tracks, both had pop up shelters, were out on the bay before noon today. Went into the resort as it was getting dark.
