When I read this I was immediately bummed but am still confused. Is the limit 15 fish per boat or per person? I can handle the per person limit but per boat really cramps my style as I was putting in 30-50 fish on a 4-5 hour day jugging. You talk about some awesome fish fries over the summer!!
and you wonder why theres a limit now? lol
It's my understanding that ALL creel limits are "per person". Wouldn't make sense to make limits on a "per boat" basis (exempting commercial fishing).
2011-2012 Regs (new) : A 15-fish daily creel limit on blue and
channel catfish on Taylorsville Lake.
One fish of the daily creel limit may
be greater than 25 inches long.
... pappy
How do you think a jugging tournament would do at Taylorsville lake? I was thinking $20 per boat, $5 for big fish. Weigh the 5 biggest catfish. Does anyone have any input?

I never said I didn't understand it. I fully understand b/c I'd go out there and there would be 3-5 other boats jugging just within sight of my spot. A lake warden/ranger whatever pulled up to me once and asked how I was doing and I told him I had 47. He said there was a guy in the same spot the previous night who filled up 2 48 quart coolers with cats jugging there. I'd say that would be well over 150 fish.
I saw this coming a few years ago as the fishing slowed down and the number of juggers increased. I understand it but am still bummed by it. So as long as I have my kids with me, I can keep 45 and that's totally fine with me.

It would be very hard to get people to keep only 5 fish. If you let them keep up to 15 per person but weigh only 5, I think you'd have a good turnout.
Thats a great idea....Do you think the price per boat is about right?

yeah....I'd be interested. How long would it last...4-5 hrs?? All day? this would be my first tourney
I was thinking maybe a Sat night from 6pm to 10pm.
I have never jugged at night and really don't care to....especially on T-ville. there's too much stuff in that lake and around the edges and I don't want to deal with chasing jugs with a light. When I jug, I spread them out over 200-300 yard strip til I find them and then tighten it up. I wouldn't want to do it at night.

isnt using someone elses limit slightly illegal?
I think its 15 per person or 30 per boat. I'm not sure if thats right but it seems like i read that.
