MARYVILLE, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation is recommending a limit change at Mozingo Lake for crappie, but is seeking input from anglers before putting it into place.
The change would allow anglers to keep 30 crappie a day, but with a limit of 15 for fish over nine inches. The limit was dropped from 30 to its current 15-a-day in 2017, after high fishing pressure resulted in a very low crappie population.
The MDC hopes the increased limit will help thin out smaller size fish and reduce competition for food, allowing the remaining fish to grow larger.
The MDC says that a similar change went into effect at Smithville Lake in 2019 with favorable results. To provide a comment on the change, you can visit mdc.mo.gov/mozingo-crappie.
