JACKSON, MS-The Mississippi Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks voted 4-1 in late January to institute changes to the state's crappie length and creel limit regulations at Grenada Lake. The new regulations call for a 12-inch minimum length and a creel limit of 15 fish per angler, and will take effect March 23, 2006. The new regulations were made based on observations by Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (DWFP) biologists that the trophy status of Grenada Lake merited such added restrictions.
Mississippi's Grenada Lake has a reputation for producing huge crappies. The lake has gained nationwide notoriety from record-setting tournaments during the past few years. DWFP officials say a tournament held on the lake last spring was won with a 2.92-pound per fish average.
