So what I'm reading is they've changed & moved state waters from 3 miles out to just over 10????

Dont forget this part... Its important
"Until the time when the US Congress confirms the commission’s action, fishermen are urged to use caution and their own personal judgment when fishing beyond the three mile boundary that is currently recognized as federal waters, as it is fully expected that federal agents and the U.S. Coast Guard will continue to enforce federal law. LDWF agents will also enforce federal regulations which are concurrent with state law within the new zone." |

Just a side note.
The Coast Guard that patrols the gulf of Mexico do not enforce game laws, only safety laws. The LDWF are the Fed game wardens in the Gulf, they act as both due to grant from the Feds that pays for the boats and fuel they use to patrol fed waters. Every once in a while you might bump into a true Fed though. This is a great step in the right direction just wish it would help me out of Cameron. Looks like I'll be driving to Grand Isle more.

[SIZE=3]The state has ulterior motives, seems we had a small budget problem, the state will be able to collect royalties from beyond 3 miles from the oil and gas industries, plus you will see some platforms popping up because the state can permit them where the feds will not allow drilling. All and All it’s not a bad deal[/SIZE]
