Is it correct that below Nick. Dam, upper Guntersville, that the min. size on Crappie is 9" and the allowable number to keep is 30?? </p>

Spur, I also saw on the alabama site you posted that you can only use 3 rods and reels  to fish with on weiss, didn't someone on here last week tell about "fan" fishing and showed a picture of a boat with a huge amount of rods and reels sticking out the front?

I don't think it really matters Spur, heck I'll give you a trophy if you can even catch 10 smallmouth regardless of the 15" limit.emoLaugh
