The 15th being the latest the season will open, the earliest would be the 9th. Bass opens the same time in the north,(everyplace north of Hwy 2 and east of Hwy 169????) 2 or 3 weeks later in the southern part of the state. |

It translates to the 1st Saturday on or before the 15th. timatkn, It reads the same in either post, as the date of the 15th isolates the Saturday whether or not the comma is/is not present. This was a cloudy issue several years back, so I called the DNR for clarification.(In fact, I think the DNR had the wrong opening date in their regulation book one of those years) The explanation I gave earlier was exactly the same as I received over the phone. No dessert for you, go to your room! :) |

Ya know TGO some sentences can have two different meanings depending on where you puctuate/pause or even just how it is read by the reader, an open minded person can recognize that, a close minded person can only see it one way. Punctuation does matter and changes the emphasis/connection of the sentence. Because you know what you meant when you wrote your sentence you are unable or unwilling to see any other interpretations. I can see how I misinterpreted your post, I was mistaken, where does that leave you? Tim |

Lighten up Bro, just two guys discussing points of view! Quote from you: "Fishing opener is around the second weekend in May every year. Done." I don't like to stir the pot, (yeah, right!) but fishing can open on the third Saturday in May if it falls on the 15th. I wouldn't even have mentioned that, but didn't want to see you get arrested for fishing before season! :) |

I wasn't upset. Sorry to sound that way. I actually like the dance off idea. |

They changed it a few years back to guarantee an extra weekend between Memorial day and the opener. |
