Guys.. Just FYI... I'm not against a limit.. I have concern with going from none to 5 and then 18" min.. That's is a very LARGE Trip...
I spoke to a WL&F commission member this every morning... This is only a letter of intent..
120 day public comment period.. Call the WL&F biologist.. Call WL& F period. Let them know how U feel..
Get the email the of every one of the commission members... Email them.. They will vote on this after the 120 day period is up..
With that said.. I've only caught about 10 Trips last yr.. NONE this yr..
I also want to see some science that supports the 18" size limits. But I'm willing to listen to biologist and others on this subject.. Just not say I'm finished with an organization since they have a view different than mine.
I'm a practicing Catholic.. But that doesn't mean I believe EVERTHING the Catholic church comes out with..AHHHHHHH NO.. I can still practice my faith and not agree with everything the church says or does..
Well probably a bad analogy.. But hopefully U get the picture.
But when MANY on this site post Pic's of 50, 60, 100 or MORE trips being caught.. That is exactly the ammo the state will use to set a limit..
Many on this site posted those pictures in the last month or so when this issue has come up..
The other gulf states have limits on Trips... I'm thinking that LA just wants to have a limit to be in line with other states..
Commercially these fish are over fished in my opinion.. Shrimp skimmers can and do literally catch hundreds of 1000's of lbs. of them and then sale them..
Just my 2 cents..
