Lotteries are nothing more than additional taxes for those who are bad at math.
The Boycott the S.T.A.R. movement had wide participation last year and was likely a contributing factor to CCA organizing the "State of the Lake" meeting last summer. It is also most likely the best chance we have to prevent CCA from getting behind new proposals for more restrictive regulations and to get them actually focusing conservation efforts on things that really matter in Louisiana.
I bet CCA would love comments to be restricted to private CCA meetings, but the fact is they pay a lot more attention when issues are aired openly at popular sites like SaltyCajun and Louisiana Sportsman, because open discussions hit them in the pocketbook.

I would like to know the actual odds of catching a tagged redfish. It has to be higher or about the same as buying $25 powerball tickets. How many tagged redfish are caught each year? 2 or 3 divided by the number of redfish caught in the state.
