If you can stop contradicting your own arguments I think more people could support you. This is along the lines of "you cannot over fish the lake on rod and reel", but then asking to increase the limit back to 25 because the fish need to be thinned out.

I'm not for or against your cause, I'm just tired of seeing you contradict yourself.

I never said lack of Bait was an issue...Over population is an issue.....too many small trout is what drives big trout out of the lake

It’s not a bait issue right now.....but maybe in the winter it is a big bait issue..... It could be bait or food issue before spring or after summer but right now lake is full of bait

My fight is too many trout are driving out the bigger trout.... Big Trout don’t eat shrimp or small fish...they eat big bait

15 Trout limit has solved ZERO....ZERO...ZERO....

I’m 100% Right on this issue ...... and just look at the STAR and CCA SHOOT out weight ins from 2000-2006....2007-2012
Look at every trout event in this time frame...

Jeff Poe did a good story on LSM about Pressure on the lake....As he now believes there is way less Pressure

Poe feels like the perception of increased fishing pressure at Calcasieu Lake has more to do with the decrease of common courtesy than it does with the number of boats on the lake.
In fact, he’s noticed in the last few years that there has been an overall decrease in fishing pressure...
