Hi Keakar,
You must have not been there when they (the LDWF) fought strenuously against the anti- netting bill for speckled trout. They used every political punch they could muster - including the governor's office at times.
In fact, there was NO biology supporting a net ban for speckled trout. It was purely political, but I am happy CCA won.
Now there was another "speckled trout" group involved that supported the anti-netting bill.
They had some differences with CCA, but people generally belonged to both organizations . . . sorta like DU and Delta Waterfowl.
Anybody remember that trout association's name??? Something like "Louisiana Speckled Trout Association" I think.
And...the only reason "GCCA" changed its name to "CCA" was because there are now active chapters along the southeastern Atlantic Coast. That meant a change in name was necessary since the organization represented more coastal areas of the US than the Gulf Coast.
