Location: Kentucky | I hope you guys get the support you need and people respond. I sent this if anyone wants to paraphrase:
I'm writing in support of PA residents who are trying to get size limits for musky fishing changed from 30" to 40 or 45" on enhanced waters, and also to change the limit from 2 fish to 1 on all waters. Catch & Release works wonders for building fisheries, especially for predator fish with low density. This change would also enhance tourism since anglers travel to good fisheries, musky anglers in particular. I travel two hours one way to any lake I need to fish, with annual trips to Canada, MN, WI, IN, etc. Please consider this change to build quality musky fishing in PA ... look to northern Indiana and their DNR and local musky angler associations as an example over the last 10 years of creating an amazing place to fish. Thank you. |

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | I would love to push it to 50 inch with NO keepers.
Man would that be nice.
It won't happen this year but they are considering the higher limits for next year if they get enough feed back.

Location: Fishing the weeds | Just sent out a letter to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission in support of the the higher size limit and lower bag limit. I live on the border of NJ and PA. so I definately want to see an enhanced Muskie fisherie here. It's worked amazingly here in NJ. The Chapter#22 people are with you. Pat |

Location: Lake City,Pa. | We also think the size limit should be raised to at least to 45' or 50" for inland waters and 1 fish. In Lake Erie to 54" and 1 fish! Pa. has great musky fishing and raising the size would make it even better! |

| Thank you the support is great, I can only hope the state responds. Musky fishing is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I have met the most passionate people who truly care and are not afraid to get involved. I will lend to support to any Musky fishermen who needs it. Thanks again Tom |

Location: Collegeville Pa | Thanks to everyone who has taken time to send comments to the PA Fish commission regarding our fishery in PA. The link below is a direct line to the PA fish commission. For those of you in some of the better known musky fishing states and Canadian provinces ( i.e. MN,WI, Ont.) and others who live in progressive states regarding stocking and creel limits (IL, IN, etc) please help us with our fishery. Comments from out of state anglers who would bring possible monies to local economies will definitely assist us as we try to improve the quality of fishing in the Keystone state. We have a very good fishery(in my opinion) that can provide near year round opportunities. Most of you are aware of the true giant that Howard Wagner landed several years ago in W. PA and opportunities for 40"+ fish year round are not out of the question throughout the state. PA has the potential for a world class fishery with it's diverse lakes and especially rivers. Our goal is to better the fishery in terms of numbers and maximum size. Here is the link and any input and assistance will be much appreciated.
Under "rulemaking or notice" simply indicate -- Musky size and creel limits.

Thanks again

| in the paper sunday, a sidebar took not of this
they only had like 40 or so comments
i hope that's an old statistic from when the story was taken.
thanx for the help guys.
personally, i don't think a PMTT at pymatuning or even raystown is too far off....i'm sure there are other great, big places they could have it here too....don't think they'd do the rivers, but that would be my obvious choice....learn how different people would fish your spots...incredible. |
