LMAO I have so many contacts though fishing industry and not one has anything good to say about the CCA

This past week CCA was a cuss word as just about every guide was offshore catching 20-50 triple tail and only able to keep 3 -6 due to 18inch law

One cussed out the poor biologist guy taking fish surveys last weekend and the guy said man that is your CCA

During our rain delay today the CCA was bashed for over an hour by fisherman the ones who they are supposed to support

Sad when every fisherman can't stand the only conservation group in the state !!!

Damn shame CCA is our enemy and slave to old money and I speak for lots of great fisherman who don't get in the internet

What a most entertaining thread. There is more double speak and contradictions on here from both sides that it is impossible for anyone to form a knowledgeable position. But this post was the one that finally broke me to have to respond.

W you spend a ton of time on here chiding people and entities whenever there is a discussion on the resource to make sure they are backing it up with sound scientific data. To which I fully support.

And in line with that on the subject of guides keeping their limits you blasted the NOLA Times article that quoted two guides anecdotal stories of how they just don't see the fish numbers they used to. Not scientific evidence you said.

But RIGHT HERE you contradict yourself when talking about 3tails and pointing to the guides catching so many 3tails that the inferred point is that there have to be oodles of them.

I have absolutely zero idea on the state of 3tails BUT if anecdotal input from guides is ok for them then it is EQUALLY valid to use in discussing the state of other fisheries.

You can't pick and choose when you want to play the science card.
