The Minnesota DNR will accept public comment on its proposed continuous bass season rules until 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23.
The proposed change would create a catch-and-release smallmouth and largemouth bass season to cover any part of the year that is not already deemed as a catch-and-release or harvest season.
