he just mad he got owned by cajun

Man CMON...

Unless all the guides I have asked about the 15trout limit lied to me, I have not found one on the East side here at Heberts that said it was a good thing other than getting a limit faster

One guide service pushed it


Will Drost, an avid angler and Lake Charles businessman, supports lowering the limit to 15 trout per day. He actually prefers 10 per day, but believes more people would support a 15-fish limit. However, he wants to see more scientific studies conducted in the estuary.


Biological observations

Biologists don’t see a problem with the trout population in Calcasieu Lake. They said that anglers might catch fewer specks because fish simply don’t bite occasionally or they move to find better food, temperatures or water conditions.

“The speckled trout population in the Calcasieu Estuary is healthy,” said Mike Harbison, a biologist with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in Lake Charles. “I don’t see a biological need to change the limit. We are finding fish in our sampling. If something is not broken, why fix it?”

Trout spawn from April through September with the peak in June, Harbison said. A speck reaches sexual maturity after one year. One large trout can produce 1.65 million eggs in a spawning season.

A trout may live 13 years, but most die before they live one year. More than 90 percent of trout die before they live four years. About four percent reach 25 inches long. One percent reaches 26 inches. Natural mortality from predators or other environmental factors take 66 percent of the trout regardless of fishing pressure. If the state banned fishing entirely, that percentage will not change, Harbison said.

“If we dropped the limit to 15 fish per day, we’ll only save about 14 percent of the fish caught now,” Harbison said. “If we go down to 10 fish per day, we’ll save about 29 percent of the fish now caught and kept. To make any significant changes, we’ll have to go to eight fish per day or less.”

On the other side of Calcasieu Lake, Kirk Stansel of Hackberry Rod and Gun Club wants the lake granted “trophy status.” He also supports a 15-fish daily creel and wants to see the minimum size raised to 14 inches to give fish one more chance to spawn before hitting an ice chest.

“I’d like to see the lake declared ‘the trophy estuary of the Gulf Coast,’” he said. “Everyone wants to catch a limit of fish, but the majority of people who come here from other areas want to catch a big trout, not fill their freezers. If we lower the limit and the rest of the state keeps the 25-fish limit, that will hurt our business some, but if we lose our fish, we won’t have any business at all. If the lake is declared a trophy lake, that might even increase our clientele.”

Stansel said his club fishes about 10 boats per day, each with a guide and one to three anglers. They can expand to 20 boats if necessary. Their boats catch a three-person limit of 75 trout about three to five percent of the time or less.

Too many weirs

Although I am a CCA member,I am opposed to the saltwater license fee increase.Too many times dedicated monies are transferred to the general fund,or for some politicians pet project...I have lived in south La all my life,and seen this happen many times..Just my opinion...

true and while im not opposed to increasing the fees after all these years without any increase, this is too big of an increase and just a pure money grab for politicians while CCA is standing there not only not opposing the size of the increase but applauding it in full support. I don't want to give politicians any more money to waste as they prove that's all they know how to do.

this is one more issue where CCA (if it truly cared or represented the interests of recreational fishermen) they should be demanding proof where the money will be spent and oversee wasteful spending and publicly report about it. politicians don't like bad press so they avoid doing things that cause bad press.

so to clarify,
do I think the increase is all that bad? not really, but the size of it is too much.
do I think it should be supported without having a good strong case made for why its needed and how it can be prevented from being wasted as just more free revenue? no

Biggun
 

Biggun, I mean bigmouth...not only have your past actions proven you are a liar and coward, but now you have proven you are also a hypocrite.

You actually have the nerve to NOW ask for us to join together as one, when you are the one who sent emails to your members to physically harm me because I checked you are your fabricated facts. I threat you seem to never make in person

Then you say I only made conjecture. Please challenge just one, one fact I stated that you believe conjecture.

Remember, just a few days ago, I said the commercial fisherman clean the recreational fishermen's clock in Wahsington and you said that was not true. Well you best go read your very ownd CCA website, because what I said earlier this week is now a featured article on its website.

I think you must be drinkiing more than kool aid, little coward.

One more thing, boy, was that the Gulf Council laughing at the credibility of CCA at the meeting this week or were they just happy to see you all.

#owned

Just got caught up. CCA gettin beat like a rented mule up in here.

License increase will be dedicated to dock surveys and have a 3 yr sunset. Success of program will be determining factor on longevity.

I will personally pay for any of those cca buster stickers for any and all guides on big lake if and only if they are afixed to the front windshield of their boats.
Any takers or just talkers?

Not a guide, but if somebody gets some made, I'll stick one right now.

I'll take one also

Well let me count... after reading this thread to them

Right now.. I have 6 Guides here at Heberts who will take a sticker!! If you don't believe me drive down we are drinking beer talking with the WL&F survey guy here at Heberts

im not happy with that sticker.

its not plain enough in what it is saying by a symbol that cant easily be red unless you already know what it says. I would prefer to have it spelled out underneath "I NO LONGER SUPPORT CCA BECAUSE CCA NO LONGER SUPPORTS ME" or for that matter just give me that bumper sticker and I know of 6 people plus me right now who will put them on the truck and boat and a few house storm doors as well.

the little round one is cute but not bold enough IMHO

Raymond you "assume" wrong, guides are NOT ashamed to make their opinions known and customers and sportsmen who use them surely will ask about it and im sure they welcome the chance to educate them on just what the CCA has become and what it is doing or rather not doing, and why they no longer deserve to have the support of sportsmen.,

CajunMade

Lets See! Just One Conjecture???

1. No Way CCA Louisiana is Owned by people from TX.. DO THEY OWN MISS. CCA, Bama CCA, FLa. CCA?? Name them???

2. NOT ONE CCA LA Executive Board Member Is PAID A SALARY other than the Director..

3. NAME ONE LA CCA Board Member WHO "OWN's" A RIG Removal Company in Texas.

4. Again U call me names..

5. We have NEVER been at the same function together.

Call Me Boy, Big Mouth, Lair, and Hypocrite on Here all U want.. U don't have the guts to Come to any SC function, and Say that to My FACE..

The Outcome may not be to UR satisfaction..

TO everyone Else.. If U don't think Chris Moran, owner of CajunMade Charters, and Moran's Marina in Fourchon. IS A TAD bit upset with this gentlemen using the USERNAME CAJUNMADE.. And It's Not Effecting his Charter Service?? Think Again..

ANYONE.. Please PM me and I'll give U Chris's Phone Number... And U can Call him UR Self and ASK..

CajunMade DOESN'T have the GUTS to Call Chris Moran right Now........ NOR POST IS REAL NAME AND CELLPHONE NUMBER SO CHRIS CAN SPEAK TO HIM IN PERSON.




PS. U still haven't indicated WHAT ORGANIZATION? And IT'S MISSION STATEMENT U CLAIM to REPRESENT.

Biggun, me and you always got a long great both work in oil industry but man you really need to stop drinking that CCA Kool aid


CCA is not for us, they are only for guys with big pockets not the little man. Ex trout limit on big lake, money pumpers
Oyster dredging scared to buck one person


Hey CCA did build a reef ($600,000+) and name it after a guy and placed bouys on it!! Hell even made the paper with the sunshine pumper with starched shirts on

W

Sorry.. U have UR opinion, I respectfully Disagree... I don't agree WITH Everything CCA DOES or SAYS.. But the Majority of what CCA does I support..

I don't Agree with EVERYTHING Duck Unlimited or Delta Waterfowl does either.. But I still support them..

I've supported this site. Supported any charitable money raising function we EVER HAD.

This Should have been placed in the GILL NET BY THE MODs along time AGO..

MOD's. Please PM ME ASAP...

Why would this go in the gill net?

I'm calling foul and an attempt to stifle free speech.

Can we get some pictures in this thread? How bout some shorter posts?

Doesn't need to go to gillnet until we get a CajunMade response.

Why should it be in the gill net??? No porn , cussing or personal attacks????
I got Threatened w/ a ban a few years ago from LAS for stating the facts about CCA .
Guess what? Once they learned the truth I got an apology. I notice that the biggest outdoor site in La. doesn't support CCA like they used to???
Let this stay in a public forum for all to see and comment on.

Eman..

I think CajunMade has called Me BIGMOUTH, LAIR, Hypocrite, Boy. Etc..

My final Post on this thread.

Yea he mad

Was there something wrong with him telling the truth?

Mods please PM asap!!! Lmao.

If those words hurt your feelings then May be good thing was last post

Cajunmade will be changing his screen name today. I did not realize that is also the name of a business in south Louisiana that has nothing to do with his comments. Personally I am a CCA member and the site generally sponsors CCA activities and has for several years. I do not think the organization is perfect, no organization is beyond criticism. At the end of the day, I support the organization

That being said this is an open public forum and I do think a healthy debate is fine and I do not want to shut the thread down but the thread needs to not attack individuals or businesses. State your opinions and any facts that you have please.

The thread is open but people will be banned for slander/liable worthy comments and or personal attacks against each other.

If I was Chris Moran I would be happy. Sounds like the dude got his facts. I would book. Btw my dad just got back from a trip with cajunmade charters. Meathaul

Bet Raymond and all the CCA clones are playing golf today instead of fishing... but they have there CCA starched shirts on sunshine pumping..

Am I getting stickers made or what?

Raymond is coming put them on our boats.....

I need a couple for my rock dogs to sport around

Said he'd make em, now people want em but we haven't heard a peep. Doesn't want his CCA family to yell at him.

Don't mean to butt in, but the $ will be wasted. I'm more in favor of something tangible for my $, there's plenty of "paper/cyber studies" already. Any government sponsered project consumes 90% -100% of the $ in the "research" phase. It's sickening to see the waste..... Our coast is disappearing and talk,talk, talk. It takes 50X's more $$ to create 1 acre of wetland, than it does to preserve 1 acre.

DUH

Biggun Did It Again
 

First and far most, and as I said earlier, I am in no way associated with Chris Moran or his company. In fact, I think he has one of the best charter groups on the east side, especially Capt. Chad.

However, I did not know he own the phrase "CajunMade" Nonethelss, I have changed my named to "3FLa".

My name is relfective of another group that will be coming to the aid of Louisiana recreational fishermen, which will be futher explained in the very near future.

What Biggun did again, is lied. We have met on numerous ocasions, I have talked to Chris Moran, on numerous occasions, I have supplied true and certified court records and true and certifed Secretary of State records to Biggun that established a rig removal company owner is one of six true owners of CCA of Louisiana, the director of CCA of Louisiana is not the only person paid a salary (records of CCA IRS filing). You just cannot help yourself, uh boy.

So know that he has truly exposed himself, he takes his ball and leaves the playground in tears.

I have a lifetime now, but here is the thing. If the increase is actually only for a few years and the funds are dedicated and not subject to misuse, great. But look at our track record for dedicated funds.

we can all go to facebook and join the group against cca if any bad talk is needed. search "boycott the S.T.A.R" and join in.

I saw the Feds are about to cut the 11 day snapper season for recreational anglers down some more

But CCA is getting ready for the STAR and have newspapers covers to make zero time to fight for fisherman


While the let our oyster fisherman rape our Lake bottom, you heard it from our Lake Charles chapter president
CCA has zero plans in work to fight them or save our natural reefs

they spend more on advertising for the STAR than all the efforts to make our area better

I don't think lifetime licenses will remain what they appear to be at present. I expect that within our children's lifetimes, extra permits and fees will be added. Some possibilities:

1. A fee could be added to the recreational offshore landing permit that is currently free.

2. Boat launch fees.

3. Fees to use live bait. Fees and permits for specific species. Fees to use more than one rod. Fees to use more than a certain number of hooks.

4. Trespass fees for certain public waters.

5. Fees to pass through certain water control structures.

6. Permits required by the feds.

7. Permits required at the parish or more local level.

Etc.

draconian!

8. Draconian Sanctions

beat me to it lol

As bad as I hate the fact CCA/STAR is huge money pit I will sign up again this year. I know as soon as I don't I will catch a tag or something huge. I couldn't live with myself. STAR is a cheated system. I know of at least one boat given away that was a cheat. The guy was reported well ahead of weigh in and wasn't given a polygraph. As far as their "conservation efforts. Looks like they spend more time and money protecting the rich landowners than protecting resources and fisherman. I feel for the future fisherman.

Don't take the bribe dude!

Lol. Good point. That's how they survive

I joined the star every year for the same reason. But I'm over it now. If I catch a tagged red I'll just pull the tag out and release. Big trout will go on the wall.

Maybe that's the mindset I need to be in.

Anyone have a current CCA board list from Lake Charles? Maybe Raymond can post it up


Or let us know when the next CCA Casa board meeting is because I have some guys who want to show up

Email the current president he might tell you.
