LDWF public meeting on Speckle Trout limits changes
LDWF to Hear Public Comment On Potential Spotted Seatrout Management At Public Meetings
Release Date: 01/23/2020 The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced dates today for public meetings to be held on spotted seatrout management. The most recent stock assessment indicated spotted seatrout are overfished and undergoing overfishing and changes are necessary in order to recover the stock. The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission (LWFC) indicated it would like to hear public input before considering management changes. No action is being taken at this time, however input is being gathered prior to any potential rule changes. LDWF?s biological opinion is that a 20% reduction in harvest is needed in order to recover the stock by 2025 or sooner, but there are a range of options that can achieve that goal. Management change options recently presented to the LWFC in early January 2020 included creel limit only changes, minimum size limit changes only, combined creel and minimum size limit changes, slot limit only changes, and combined slot limit and creel changes. Below is a list of meeting dates and locations. All meetings will begin at 5:00 p.m., except the meeting in Ruston, which will begin at 1:00 p.m.

When I saw this my first thought was that I would go to this meeting. I have been to several other similar LDWF meetings and found them to be informative.
BUT ?. when I looked up the location..... I would not go there unless I was with a group of people or with a police escort. I would not want to be in that area after dark leaving alone. |
Where is this at, in Lake Chuck?
|
I’d like to see 15 & 15. But that’s just me
|
The meeting time and LOCATION has been changed.
See post in General Discussion. |
For years I have seen stringers, especially in S.E. LA, of 25 12" to 14" Trout. What a waste. I would much rather catch 7-8 nice Trout around 20" than a bunch of throwbacks.
|
Agreed. And those 12” fish never get a chance to spawn.....
