Who will be left to buy these resorts but the tribe and the resorts will be off of the tax roll?Resorts are gonna really drop like flies now...
Who is going to go up there and spend a weekend to bring home a fish or two.... Its one thing if the limit was low and you could go out and still catch a bunch of fish....
The sad fact is that you cant even go out to enjoy catching walleyes just for fun.
My only reason to go up for a day will be for smallmouth.

Pike limits are 3 per person..... WHY??
I can catch 3 in 3 minutes on most MN lakes...
Pike have disappeared from our fisheries the last 20 years but we used to eat the bigger ones. They tasted great but were a pain to clean. I think the zebra muscles lead to their decline but the walleye, perch, and bass have flourished in their place.Pike are pretty tasty deep fried..once you know how to get the y-bones out anyway
Mille lacs is full of zebras and it was a big pike Mecca every fall. I loved seeing 60 degrees forecasted pre rut and I grabbed the boat instead of the bow. 40 inch fish were a realistic expectation in October nov. But now we can spear and eat them.Pike have disappeared from our fisheries the last 20 years but we used to eat the bigger ones. They tasted great but were a pain to clean.

If we can believe the DNR data, zebra mussels have cleared the water in Mille Lacs, walleye numbers have declined, and northern numbers have increased. Walleye spawning time netting by tribes is another factor.Pike have disappeared from our fisheries the last 20 years but we used to eat the bigger ones. They tasted great but were a pain to clean.

I heard new regulations are that you must have 2 smaller pike in the boat before you can keep a bigger one (over 30). New limits of 3.
