Which will have an impact on the numbers of Louisiana fish. And, eventually, regulation in Louisiana.

Louisiana has plenty of fish to share with our fine neighbors from MS who are willing to pay $90 each to fish for LA Specks and buy lots of gas, and lunch, and bait along the way.

Speck numbers in LA look very good. God bless MS for sending us their anglers and their money.

Some of the problems with Louisiana fishermen are greed and arrogance. And ignorance. That's what's going to destroy one of the greatest fisheries in the world.

Don't be so sure you have enough of those natural resources for everyone. Even if it's the case today, it might not be the case always.

I'm speaking from careful review of all the available stock assessments. I've spent hundreds of hours reviewing stock assessments of spotted sea trout in the Gulf of Mexico. I've spent hundreds more hours on boat ramps and boat docks personally overseeing creel surveys.

Louisiana has plenty to share. That's not greed or arrogance or ignorance, it's the best available scientific information.

I understand well that Louisiana's natural resources need careful monitoring and harvest restrictions when the best scientific information supports that. I am in favor of ongoing closures of redfish for commercial fisherman, the ongoing ban of using nets to harvest specks, and more restrictive oystering methods in Calcasieu (tongs). But there is no scientific data showing any need for more restrictive spotted seatrout regulations in Louisiana for the 2016-2017 season.
