Behind The Scoreboard

Records meant to be broken

Funny how publicity plays such a huge part for the famous and the infamous. Can you remember back a short 10 years ago when the NBA threw all of its support behind the newly initiated WNBA and the league immediately soared? In the last couple of years some of the interest has soured and maybe it isn’t so much about how the games are played as when the games are played.

New crappie regulations start Aug. 11

The Commission of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks voted Wednesday to finalize a public notice of intent on new crappie regulations on Sardis, Enid, Grenada and Arkabutla reservoirs.

Public notice F12-3424a places new size requirements and creel limits at these reservoirs. Starting August 11, the creel limit at the four flood control lakes will be 20 per person and each fish must be at least 12 inches in length. Each boat may have no more than five poles per person. Grenada currently has a 12-inch limit on crappie and three poles per person based on a previous public notice. The 20 limit creel is also in effect in the spillways of the four reservoirs but there is no size limit in the spillways.

“We’ve experienced drought conditions the past three years and this year has been the most severe,” said MDWFP Fisheries Bureau Chief Ron Garavelli. “We want to take a proactive approach and not be reactive. These regulations are designed to not only improve crappie numbers, but keep the reservoirs producing the quality of fish they’re known for nationwide.”
