Its september 5th.. dont know the location though

Preaching to the choir on most that MG:)

Apples to Bowling balls. Migratory bird populations are extensively researched every year and regulations are managed accordingly. When you come up with a better argument than "Why do y'all need more than 5?" then let us know, TEXAN!!! :D

EXACTLY!!!

Migratory bird populations are estimates as well, just as the tripletail studies and there have been extensive studies done as per this:

David Cresson, executive director of the Coastal Conservation Association-Louisiana, told the commission his organization supports the implementation of regulations on tripletail.
"There is limited information in general on tripletail, but it's extensive in other parts of the country," he said. "We've been visiting with scientists, and the information is undeniable: Eighteen inches is where they become sexually mature."

There is no such thing as a Louisiana tripletail, they are a migratory species, they do not know state lines. What is seen in Alabama and Mississippi tripletail populations would be the same here, unlike red snapper which do not migrate and is why I think our state's red snapper fishery should be managed by us

I don't recall saying "why you need more than 5".
10-4 on the Ducks research and regulations. Would you have a problem with LDWF doing the same with 3 tailers, and manage accordingly ? Does LDWF research Trout, Redfish, etc. ?
My point has not changed. Nobody wants to be told how many you can keep. Lets just catch as many as we can NOW, and the heck with the future of the Fish. Who cares if my kids/grandkids ever know of there existence ?

Yep, I'm tryin to fish 'em to extinction, I wish these Out-of-Towners would mind their own business and let us exterminate these things. C'mon man, you're gettin a little radical now.

Sooooooo.......You're sayin they have no idea, they just S.W.A.G. it. Kind of what we're gettin at.......

So in Africa today..

.La CCA guy took a visit to see how they controlled the Lion populations... When CCA ask how do you know where to set the limit on Lions, the African guy just looked and said we look extensive in other parts of the country.
CCA guy said we do the same thing with our fishing regulations, so what is your triple tail limit here? Confused African said what is a triple tail? CCA Guy: it’s that fish with 3 tails that floats under debris.
He says Ohhhh mate you speak of the fish we with 3tails .... We base our limits on extensive in other parts of the country.
The CCA guy comes back to Baton Rouge and gives a great detail of what he learned in Africa over his trip! When commissioner ask about the 3 tail limit and what we should do. He answered extensive in other parts of the country!
It’s the smart thing to do!

No, I am saying that the info is there already, its been done all around us. Its not going to be different because they are a migratory species that do not know what state they are in:) They are not a different subspecies

:headknocker:

Careful for what you wish for ! Those out of towners help fuel your economy, and there not all from Texas.

Texas has the dumbest trout law of all...15inch min on trout...lmao

Keep all females and leave males in the water!! WINNING...

Maybe Texas could have a better trout program if they dropped that 15inch min down to a 12inch where you keep a better ratio male to female

I was being sarcastic. It was a joke.

MathGeek, you need to be present at some of these meetings. Even though logic isn't always the best solution(in most political-type cases these days), your ability to speak and present facts, along with the extensive studies you have done would likely go a lot further than "It's my right to keep what I want!"

THIS!!!!!!!!!


not only should it be MG, It needs to be everyone who gives a rat's posterior.

Like i said in the other thread, Policiticians listed to two things 1) Money 2) public opinion. Unless we have a Williams Gates Jr in our midst who is willing to finance our cause..... Then i suggest people start creating some public opinion.

Squeeky Wheels really do tend to get grease.

Roger !

agreed...bruh.

I'm not much of a public speaker, but given time and google scholar, I can frame a decent scientific viewpoint.

I've corresponded with Jason Adriance in the past, and I could probably put together a decent case that there simply is not much scientific data showing the need to impose such a drastically lower limit on tripletail.

However, I think the bigger danger to LDWF is setting the precedent of managing by public opinion without sound scientific data. If Draconian regulations can be imposed without valid scientific support, then why will the legislature ever bother to spend the extra $$$ for good science to get the data?

W said it well. A decade from now, we'll all be wondering what happened when there are plenty of fish and we're wondering why the limit is 3 specks and one redfish.

If we want fisheries that suck as bad as Texas and Florida, then we should copy their regulations!

MG is on Fiya!!!!!!!!!!

Man I help fight that battle... It was a hard fight but great win!!! We had a good group of guides and supporters! CCA and I'm not going to mention a name which he is gone now but that was the biggest crock of crap I've ever heard what they spread and made up!
