RECREATIONAL OYSTERING
SEASONS
The Louisiana Wildlife and
Fisheries Commission designates
which public oyster areas are open for
fishing by opening or closing the season
as biological data indicate. The
owner of an oyster lease or his designee,
with written permission, may
fish oysters at any time of year on
their lease. NOTE: Areas opened by
the Commission may, however, be
closed by the Department of Health
and Hospitals for public health reasons.
Information on closed areas is
available from the Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries or from the
Department of Health and Hospitals.

SIZE/POSSESSION LIMITS
All oysters taken from public
oyster areas must be three inches or
greater in length from hinge to mouth.
A lessee of private oyster areas may
be permitted to take undersized oysters
from public areas for bedding
purposes only. Size restrictions do not
apply to oysters taken from a private
lease.
Recreational oyster fishermen
may harvest oysters only with the
written permission of the lease holder
or in public oyster areas open for the
harvesting of oysters. Recreational
oyster harvesters are limited to two
sacks per person per day for personal
consumption. Recreational oyster
fishermen are also required to possess
a basic and saltwater fishing license
in addition to a gear license for recreational
gear used.

METHODS OF TAKING
Recreational oyster harvest for
home consumption is limited to tonging
or gathering by hand. A recreational
tonging license is required for
each tong in use and a recreational
basic and saltwater fishing license is
required for persons 16 to 59 inclusive
for taking oysters by hand. Any
resident who turned 60 years of age
on or after June 1, 2000 shall be
required to purchase a senior fishing
license to take oysters.

LEASES
Any person who qualifies and
who desires to lease a part of the bottom
of any state waters shall present
to the Secretary of the Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
a written application and cash deposit
of such amount as determined by
LDWF.

RESTRICTIONS
Culling oysters, which is the act
of discarding undersized oysters or
dead shell, shall be performed only
on the open designated public areas
or on private leases on which the fisherman
is authorized to take oysters.
At no time will the act of culling oysters
be permitted in areas closed to
oyster harvest.
The taking of oysters one half
hour after sunset until one half hour
before sunrise is prohibited.
Oysters taken from the reefs of
this state either for sale or consumption
shall be landed in Louisiana,
except with an out of state oyster
landing permit and in compliance
with all other rules and regulations.
