Not sure why the season ends in December. I would love to see it remain open until March 1st. There is limited chances to fish in winter but often a few nice dinner size Rock can be caught. Would love to keep just one.
The gill netters are out there and catch many fish. I did hear the rec. season ends to avoid comm / rec trouble. Only snag there - recs. can still go out and C/R.
You think about it - very few anglers would be out and some years the ramps ice in. The take would be minor. 95% of recs. put their boats away.
Years ago - we could keep them in winter. Not sure how / why the December closure came about.
A lot of the DNR rules seem odd.
