Fight to save that.... talked to an offshore charter boat guide who said he might have 60 days give or take of days with good weather to make successful trips with customer

This is a good point. We might be past the point of no return on red snapper. It may well be a better strategy to focus on specks, redfish, flounder, and tripletail. I bet if they had their way, CCA would push for LA regulations much closer to TX and FL in many species. The federalization of snapper accomplished that quickly and perhaps irrevokably. Better to fight for the species that remain. At some point, snapper will become a huge nuisance and the herd will need thinning.
