Well I hate to break your heart because I never see it happing here ever

So if a oyster man catching oysters in a public lake like Big Lake is he double dipping. ?
Are what about a shrimper he catches shrimp on public waters and gets paid also so is he double dipping

So ague you point why guides should not keep a limit ????

I'm all ears ....

Now if the State says as a Captain you don't have to pay any yearly fees nor fishing license and just maintain your Coast Guard license and that's it

Then Ok I will go fishing on my own and keep my limit every time and just give to clients frozen everytime

Why do guides have to pay $265.00 a year just to fish? Their fishing license cost that much?

No Guides pay $300 a year plus fishing licenses

What is the 300 for?

Charter guide license have to buy Jan 1st of every year

Com get some and maybe you will find out !!!

I agree it will not happen here for quite a while.....

oyster fisheman and shrimper do not have clients on thier boat..........

do you keep your limit every time of do you send it home with the customers? If you do are they not over thier daily limit?

Guides, just like commercial fisherman are using a public resource to earn a living so they pay a liscense fee for that priviledge.....

So "W" your case is......" I am going to stomp me feet till I get my way"?
Or is it that you want your clients to have a chance to take home more fish than the law allows them for a day's fishing?
Or are you broke and need the fish to help feed your family?

What's the case?
I am making mine......agree or disagree but I feel as though I am making it......

I think all of you are putting way to much of the blame on CCA, with or without CCA the overall condition of the marsh here in the east would be about the same. The main problem over here in the east is what oil companies did back in the 50's and 60's cutting pipeline after pipeline canal displacing more marsh than 50 hurricane's could ever do. If you doubt what I say just look at the arial photos through the last 20 years.

You just made ZERO point

zERo

You can not justify what you support

It's simple let me break it down

Crabbers crab and profit money off public waters and pay state fees
oystermen Oyster and profit money off public waters and pay state fees
shrimpers Shrimp and profit money off public waters and pay state fees
Fisherman fish and profit money off public water and pay state fees

Nothing is different

If a Shrimper want to keep his limit he can
If a crabber wants to keep his limit he can
If a Oysterman wants to keep his limit he can
If a fisherman wants to keep his limit he can

It does not matter who is on your boat , you have to follow the state and federal creel limits per your vessel
Bottom line


You can not soundly justify your case on why a "guide " is any different from any other person making a living off public waters


And please explain how a person can take home more fish than the law allows

I'm ready to hear this one !!! Lmao

man you guys make me laugh so hard :spineyes:

now you want to argue that a man that buys a fishing license isn't supposed to be able to catch and keep his own limit of fish just because he is bringing others on a guided fishing trip lol.

and you think somehow your argument makes any sense just because a few of you agree with each other or will agree to any stupid comment just to bash "w" for any reason, that's the best part lol

Napoleon syndrome at it's finest...

CCA with a question of a doubt was responsible for getting rid of Gill Nets in the marsh over here in the east.

And BtW

Last year I cleaned well over 3800 trout guiding

And year before non guiding cleaned over 4500

GCCA

Whole diffrent organization buddy not ever close

You can only catch a daily limit but you can possess twice the daily limit. So only one person from his group would have the possession limit but still be legal when traveling home.

try again, learn your history and stop repeating false information, CCA had absolutely nothing to do with banning gill nets and didn't even exist then.

that was GCCA and I was a proud member of THAT organization because they DID work on behalf of helping fishermen and the environment unlike the CCA that was created years after the ban was passed and even to this day lives off of the false claim that they helped ban gill nets. they want people to falsely assume this and will not do anything but encourage this false narrative that helps them raise money.

CCA is not and never had anything to do with GCCA, they just used the CCA name so they could take credit for what things GCCA did to help fishermen knowing full well most people would confuse the two and think they were the same organization just as you assumed.

I didn't know they had a license for that.

Buddy I've been around here a while.....and many time agree with "W".....many times.....dubya knows that......

"W" it's simple math........you being the Stock Market guru know simple math.....

You hand over your limit..............to guys who take thier limit......equals too many limits per fisherman.........you have been bragging on banging limits out........

I asked.......do you send your limits home with the sports?

Where is Raymond ??

Dude come here and lied and got owned and now is MiA

Just like he said if we made boycott CCA stickers he would come put em on for us then dude did not make one post till this one !!

Been like 3 months ago

True.....if you can prove you fished two days..........I agree with you and knew this was coming.....but these are being challenged all over the nation......

Ask the guide in Lake Fork if you can take thier limits home...........

I spend quite a bit of money on trips with customers.......it is becoming more and more common that we are not allowed the guides limits
