Was out from 6 till dark in the boat with my kids. Started off pretty slow but my 6 year old son pulled 2 decent crappies (both around 10") on our first drift through 10-12 FOW. I had two solid takes on the same drift but wasn't able to connect. Went back near the dam and started pulling crappies and perch on nearly every cast. The kids were throwing crappie jigs with waxies and i was twitching a floating minnow crank on the surface. The kids caught the biggest fish on the jigs. Left there with 6 crappies on the stringer and one big bluegill. We follow the "panfish enhancement" regs everywhere we fish. I don't let the kids keep the crappies and perch till they're 9" and bluegills gotta be 7". I think all of our lakes should be set up with those regs. It seems to be working well at Chambers. JMO

Completely agree that struble and marsh should have those regs. I was out on struble one evening this weekend and was reading a TON of fish down near the dam that had to be crappie and perch, but of course I didn't have any light gear with me to try and pick some up.

Is there any way we can petition the fish commission to instate these regs on the other waters?

We have talked to the local Pa Fish Commission Law Enforcement Officer (Fish Warden) Bob Bonney about this problem a while back. He said the only way to get this to happen is for people will contact the Pa Fish Commission directly, and voice there concern. The more people who complain the better the chance for this (size limits on panfish)to happen. He has no ability to make it happen, it has to come from the public.
We started a petition a year or so ago in our store and had about 25-30 people to sign it, but found out that it must contain addresses of the signers, which we didnt do, to be legit. So had to scrap it.
