You are trying to make a "FEEL GOOD" story for the CCA. Neither you nor they can justify a limit on triple tail that would show and prove that rod n reel is hurting the population!
WL&F visit marinas every day and take fish counts; we had them this Sunday at Hebert’s taking fish counts and measurements with weights. Do they show a great number of 3tail taken on these visits?
If you don’t have data to back up your creel limit your looking to establish (5 fish 18inchs long) How about start with a greater span like 20? Once you spend a few years with more study and if you then find you need to move down the limit, then so be it.
Lets not give the fisherman "BECAUSE ITS THE SMART THING TO DO"

Why 20? Why not 15? Why not 21? See where this is going? First off the regs have NOT been established YET!

BINGO.......You catching on now!!
SO why 5?? Why any??? If you’re going to set a limit you better have some reasoning behind it right besides "it’s the smart thing to do"
