All the available evidence shows that redfish stocks in MI and LA waters and the adjacent federal waters are healthy enough to support the proposed limit change.
CCAs opposition shows that they are not interested in adjusting regulations to support sustainable harvests, but rather in racheting down restrictions always more tightly regardless of what the science shows.
Less restrictive redfish restrictions in federal waters are not a "Pandora's box" as the CCA spokesman asserts, they are an opportunity to allow anglers to harvest the abundant resource.
Thanks for bringing this to light, "W".
