10 miles off the coast does not give you much fishing areas though.

By Louisiana going "non compliant" There is no one to enforce it. They would need federal agents checking boats at 10 miles offshore. I think it is a move to get Texas to do the same. And make the National marine fishery to have a change of heart. But who knows?

Texas an Florida already have state seasons and Texas state waters extend to 3 leagues already

So its only La.,MS, and Al. that have no state seasons?

Definitely a move in the right direction but not where it needs to be YET.

I'm guessing u can keep bull reds out to 10miles also, this should be interesting in fishing tournments

I would think it would apply to redfish as well. If this all goes through.

On the other hand. Federal waters will be the shortest season ever.

As long as you make it back in the 10 mile zone your fine!!
There is zero shortage of red snapper in the gulf of mexico , every platform I have worked at in waters from 60-150 ft have been loaded with snapper

Late last year we went out to catch mangroves. We were catching red snapper on the surface. There was no way to get past em. I think there is an over population on most of the rigs. We had some young boys on the boat so we were going to troll to let them fight a couple of kings. Guess what we caught red snapper trolling rapala deep diving plugs! Never seen that before.

Check the State map. They have one on the LDWF site. A lot of it is based on the land when the 3 mile line was drawn. A lot of that original land has dissapeared. In some places the 10.357 mile line is beyond what we can measure. I have asked for some #'s but so far nothing available. Red Snapper can be found on structure as shallow as 30 feet.

Should be easy pickins outts venice.....little bit of a ride from Grand Isle, but still worth it cause I see nothing about AJ's being closed during snappet season like it has been the last few years
