The slot limit is back because of the slaughter of MANY thousands of Walleye by the Illegal commercial fishing by 6 people. A few years ago the DNR survey said there was around 500,000 legal sizes Walleye, last summer the DNR said there was about 250,000 to 270,000 legal sized Walleye. If you don't think the slot limit will help bring back more Walleye through out the Bay your wrong.
Side Bar the Perch are coming back because of the Fishing Club is KILLING Cormorants and the DNR catching another bunch of Illegal netters on Big Bay De Noc as well. If you think the fishing is so terrific now you should have been around here in the mid to late 70's through the early 90's for Perch and the Walleye fishing until the mid 2000's. Green Bay has what we use to have in Big Bay and the Little Bay from Escanaba north.
