Actually Malmo, the protected slot is still 20-28.  Until further notice, the smaller protected slot remains in effect.

Yes, Waldo... agreed -- the 20-28 inch is still in effect.
It reverts back to 18 inch slot by 2011.
The DNR site says: that the current slot expires November 30th actually..
Wish I was there catching a few right now.
Have fun...Malmo Mike
