Is it Conservation or Greed?

So I told him to just mail it and I would send it in. He says "yea, thats great, thanks. Just fill it out and send it in with the check and then we will send you the stuff"

Um ok, what the heck? I am doing a service to you so that you can have better data on fish growth, migration, etc etc etc, and I have to pay you to be able to help you out? What kinda program is that?

There is a one time $20 set up fee....and that is just for your kit! Your Tags are free. He will send you a tagging kit with 10 tags to make sure your doing them right. Then you can get 30 at a time.

not even gonna touch it

yep....its a dumb thread. I'm off to baton rouge to talk about things W supports, like a min size increase on trout, stoping oyster dredging, but yet its dumb to talk about actual limits. Me & my family..we're greedy I guess and care nothing about conservation.

You are correct. He said he didn't know if 15 would help or not. He thought 10 was the magic number and said if we reduced it to 10 Big Lake would become a trout mecca. But too many liberals think 10 is too small of a limit and is not what CCA polled its membership on. CCA's members wanted 15, so they pushed for the 15.

FWIW, several biologist have said Calcasieu is currently the healthiest estuary in the state. Coincidence???

Big lake was the Healthiest estuary before the limit change! The Biologist said Big Lake has the healthiest estuary in the state! This was with the 25 trout limit...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Big Lake was just fine before they changed the limit. Most people have trouble catching a limit whethor or not it be 25 or 5. And the guys that can actually catch em, usually throw em back or tag and release.
