This was the words 13 years ago

?This is more of a social issue than a biological issue,? Pausina said. ?Statewide, trout stocks are healthy. The biomass for the last three years is the highest it has ever been, except for one year in the early 1980s.?

?The move to cut the daily bag limit from 25 specks to 15 was pushed by a coalition including the Louisiana chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association and some of the fishing guides and outfitters operating on Calcasieu Lake.?


During the LWF Commis-
sion meeting, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries coastal fisheries staff told the group the agency's biological data indicates speckled trout fisheries in the bay systems were healthy and said reducing the bag limit would not guarantee increased trout populations in the affected areas.

Those opposed to the bag limit reduction said the fisheries staff's assessment showed the move was not scientifically justified and should not be imposed.

Same thing with triple tail. No stock assessment done but CCA pushed for an arbitrary limit. They also pushed to end bowfishing for red fish. They also stayed silent on red snapper. Basically CCA is against Louisiana sportsman
