Re: The Eyes Of April
Id love to see a slot program put in for the whole state excluding the big D of 18-20 for keeper walleye for the next 5 years. In 5 years you would be able to fish hopatcong or greenwood and nail eyes just as commonly as a bass or crappie or perch, I would love to see that quality of a fishery. Look at the hybrid success we have now, they dont reproduce naturally and LH is the best in the state, you can nail wipers all day long on a good day. The eyes are also reproducing on their own in addition to the stocking by F&G, the only problem I have with the state stockings are the size. I beleive 90% or more of stocked fish dont make it thru the first year due to predation, but I dont know the cost of stocking 90% less eyes but having them 10"-12" at time of release to guarantee their survival
