You say it won't effect you but it might. Today it's triple tail, tomorrow it's Texas fish limits in all of Louisiana. Not everything in Texas is bigger and better than LA. Just using Texas as an example no harm meant, I just know their limits are nothing like our liberal limits.

I am all for conversation. I can't even catch a limit of trout in Big Lake with a 15 trout limit although I have many times elsewhere. But even not being a great trout fisherman in BL I know that the 15 trout limit there is BS.

Hey they said it best "its smart conservation " = no research or facts , just money




Btw have you noticed the more CCA pushes this non fact issues the smaller the STAR prizes become???


They keep pissing off charter captains and people who know 100% more about our waters than they do...word will keep getting out until we get a Delta Waterfowl of Water started

yep... I'm done with them

Go figure, no more CCA for me

[swamp snorkler]

I've never caught a triple tail.

So i guess we need a sheephead limit since we have a lot more Texans fishing our waters

I'm mad now.

Better?

They almost extinct

Need to make a big push against CCA on this. After all, they are a non profit org LOL

I have always supported CCA because they are all we have for conservation issues but seeing the corruption and politics who make up laws. It really makes me upset and not want to support them.

After the 15 trout limit getting pushed by non fisherman and few people with money, it has left that hangover beer taste in my mouth!!


I wish someone would start a new organization for Louisiana and for anglers, ( not money office fisherman)

I'm not a biologist, didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express, and only fish a half dozen times a year. However I assume the sexual maturity statement means that at 18", 50% of those fish have reproduced, so it is ok from a conservation point of view to harvest them.

I guess their argument is that it is good conservation practice to establish limits that allow 50% of the fish to reproduce before they are allowed to be taken.

As to the limit of number of fish per day, 5, 10, 50, your guess is as good as mine as to how they came up with that number.

The question I want them to answer "Is there any biological evidence that tripletail populations have been impacted by Louisiana anglers enough to warrant a limit?". The rest is just a sideshow.

I emailed my uncle who is a biologist with WLF he referred me to the guy who's email address is posted for comments. I just sent him a message, I will post what his reply is if I get one.

Has anyone called the guy to discuss what the relevant studies are that he is talking about?

It will amount to about this much evidence

Lol.

Yeah you might be right, But seems to me it's worth calling the guy up to hear his side of it. And if it is just so much B.S. letting all of us know

I am sooooooo sick and tired of the BS in our lives nowadays! I mean less face it - we are in bad times. We have to fight legal battles over fishing issues (snapper, water access, season dates, etc.) and no end is in sight. Our forefathers are rolling in their graves puking on the soil they fought far. We have wasteful spending on BS at ever turn, plus the leaders of these governmental agencies have lost all concept of "common sense".

Triple tail are what I consider an "incedental fish". I mean it's not like you can go out and target them on a regular basis. They are here on day and gone the next. Sure, I have had times where we found an acre of grass offshore which held hundreds, but I have seen it twice and I am 45. And a 18" minimum size limit..........really! Like the Mexican fisherman named "Pedro" in his Panga will release the same 17.5" TT he catches in Mexican waters after I release it in the GOM for being a half inch too short.

I am officially going on record here as the State of LA did with the NOAA snapper issue - "I am non-compliant"! Enough said! I catch a triple tail that I want to consume as a family as reward to a trip on the water, well then they will have to catch me! CCA needs to understand that the "John Q Public" is getting tired of this BS. I stopped feeding them money when the private access issue was going. Again, it goes down to people with big bucks having the right phone numbers to call when they want something on their agenda.
