Commercial Trout Season
 

Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission announced the commercial season for the harvest of spotted seatrout will open on August 15, 2010. This fishery is set to remain open until the maximum annual quota is reached, or on the date projected by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries that the quota will be reached, or until sunset on Friday December 31, 2010, whichever comes first.
Act 979 of the 2010 Louisiana Regular Legislative Session modified the season for the commercial harvest of spotted seatrout using a commercial rod and reel.
Also included in Act 979, and effective with the implementation of that act and these rules, the commercial taking or commercial harvesting of spotted sea trout shall be prohibited within Louisiana waters west of the Mermentau River.

west of the mermentau?


thats BS

That's good for us. There will be no commercial harvest of Trout in Big Lake.

Yes. I know it's great for big lake. But what about the rest of us who don't fish big lake.

There's no fish anywhere else. :cool: :shaking:

Well the short one is running his mouth on my facebook about how he wad able to keep the commercial fishermen out of his lake


He also wanted me to inform everyone that he is the reason salty Cajun is where it's at and on august 17th his site launches. And no one will remember salty cajun

Shaddy is the real reason. :smokin:

He said no one on this site likes me and everyone has been owning me.


However he couldn't name anyone

Obsession? Who cares? Delete him from your facebook!

The great people here are why sc is so great! PERIOD!

Back to the original topic. What is the comm trout quota in pounds?

there is no danger from commercial trout fishing.... the recreational crowd catches way more than commercial

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:headknocker::beathorse:

Bob that's true when rules are followed. But who is gonna enforce it

Just look at these and form your own opinion. There is nobody really fishing for them commercially

I deleted him off my facebook account for this reason,I suggest you do the same. The hell with that lil redheaded stepchild.

He just said there is "no oil left in the gulf"

Not to sound like a total Richard here but, part of the reason he's gone is for all the stupid stuff he liked to blurt out. I don't miss it and really don't wanna read it even though he's gone.

Now, can someone post the quota for comm specks?!

It can't be that high or widely used. I've never seen it for sale anywhere down here or anywhere else that I have been, for that matter.

i did in the articles.... but here it is from the houma newspaper


"Additionally, commercial fishermen caught less than 1,000 pounds of speckled trout in 2008, compared to the nearly 11 million pounds landed by recreational anglers. Every year, the commission typically sets a commercial quota of between 500,000 pounds to 1 million pounds, but it’s a threshold that will never be reached, Baldone said."

mostly restaurants...

Thanks Meaux!
