You are not required to have circle hooks for snapper fishing..........yet. But with the crazy azz feds, who knows what's next.

Check out page 20 of the La wlf 2012 fishing regulations. I believe that it contradicts your statement. If natural bait is used, it states that non-stainless circle hooks are required. I believe you are correct, however, if artificial baits are used.


If I am wrong, let me know.
