Weirs........

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

my comments werent as much about the weirs as they were about people's mentality towards fishing,

I will catch as many as i want because all i care about is today, not my kids future fishing.

Austin, I took the time to re-read your post further than the pull your head out of your azz part. lol.

But, If our redfish population is struggling sooo much, why are we ranked number one state for reds???

I just hate when people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Nothing against ya bud.

Look at the regulations (limits) for the other states involved. Why are they so low?

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

I never said our population is struggling, but research what happend with the purse seins on redfish, and look at spoonbill catfish.

Its not about today, yes we are ranked number 1 right now, but without proper conservation we wont be,

That being said i think a 5 red limit is perfect for our state, i commend our LDWF biologists for doing their job, but hell would break loose if they tried to change it because there became a threat on the resource

North carolina's limit is 1 between 18 and 27

Billy stix told me they are only allowed to keep 1 redfish also in Florida.

[adamsfence]

We have the best Fishing in world.........Our fish are healthy and alive!! Our Estuary is solid and our reefs are healthy......... As long as the weirs fishing is legal......hey its all good!!! I just think someone should look at making the 250 a 1000feet give the fish a chance to flee........ Someone above said you think these few small areas hurt our fishing.........Yes I do.....when Reds and Shrimp only have 4 ways into a marsh and its loaded with hooks and castnets!!! So you funnel all your fish to one spot in and out!!!!....... Im not against someone slamming reds at the weirs I have done it my self this year!!! I just dont know how much our population is taking a hit!!! I was told by a guide that between 5 boats they harvested about 3000 reds in a month......

wow thats great..then do you agree that there should be no trout fishing within 1000ft of working birds? or schools of trout? i highly doubt it..why? cuz it will effect YOUR fishing fun ..but you don't seem to mind regulating other people's fun? what are ya a democrat?

as for your guide buddies harvesting 3000 reds between 5 boats....its would seem that if you actually cared the about the redfish you would be making a topic about guides raping the fishery for their own profit than instead of how far people fish from a weir......

You've preached for years that Big Lake's fish population could not be affected by rod 'n' reel. I'm confusioned.

W..... usally I agree with you but, I can tell you from experience guides have takin way more than 3000 redfish a month from the wiers and probably even more off the east and south banks. You should know our redfish population is by far in no harm considering the last couple years we have had on biglake. If people wanta fish the wiers by all means let them. Alot of people enjoy knowing they can go there and put there kids and friends on fish pretty easy. Theres plenty of other places to catch them on the lake.

Dang somebody needs to catch some trout..

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

[all star rod]

LOL.......you see he is tired of fishing the weirs now so it should be off limits now........a rod-n-reel will only effect Redfish at the weirs not trout under birds.......

[RAGINJROB]

Damnnnnnn...thats 5 boats, 4 people per boat, catching a limit everyday of the month.(I think..MATH?) Maybe the guides could throw their reds back and that would help.

[Gerald]

If you want to reduce the number of Red's caught at the wier..........................

Up the fine to $ 1000 each for everyone in the boat.
