Crappie Limits

[Big Keene]

I know that the limit for walleye is 15" 4 daily and 8 possesion, but what are they for the crappie? Ill be fishing out of mutton creek next weekend and if the early weather reports hold true, it has potential. Any tips, ideas, or secret honey holes are appriciated.

Correction: away from the lake, the possession limit for crappie is 60, due to the fact that the statewide limit on crappie is 30 fish daily. However, Stockton has special restrictions, so you can only keep 15 per day from Stockton, and they all must be 10" long or greater. Always be sure to label your freezer stock with species, number, date & place caught.

Also, Missouri does not allow "party" fishing, in which people fishing together share the aggregate catch. You catch it, it's yours and yours alone. And the state requires that you keep each angler's catch separate and clearly identifiable on the water.

While I can understand the reasoning behind that one, it still makes me want to throttle someone. Especially as it relates to family outings.

Powerdive,

Don't forget your name and fishing license number too. Especially if there is more than one person in the household putting fish into the freezer.
