I've fished LA, NY, OH, MI, CO, NC, GA, SC, AK, FL, and maybe a few I'm forgetting. There is nothing like Louisiana. Nothing even close. The waters teem with life. I've never seen anything even close. It is awesome beyond description.

It's more than Big Lake and Venice. It's the whole coast from Sabine to the Rigolets. I'll draw your particular attention to the area around Port Fourchon and Grand Isle. There's a spot just SE of E Timbalier Island where my brother says, "75% of the fish I've caught in my life I've caught in this spot" and he's only fished it a handful of times. I prefer Belle Pass and Caminada Pass, because I like the big ones.

I could live anywhere in the US, but I choose Louisiana, because the fishing is awesome, and Louisiana still loves liberty.

I'm not saying that's not true but when you say:

Supply and demand. Out of staters will pay to fish in Louisiana because the fishing is so good and the limits are so high. Far fewer non-residents are interesting in paying to fish in Texas.

If you've been to all the places you say you have then you know that's not the truth. Just calling bs on bs that's all.

We got a real Bubble Gum here

mg was right...in 2011 LA sold 125,000 non-resident fishing licenses, while TX only sold 114,000. While not a huge difference, I can honestly say I was surprised, and I stand corrected. A lot of good statistics in that report for anybody interested.

Previously you said

Last word I got on SPR# see dates

Thanks for your interest in spotted seatrout management. As you
are probably aware it takes several years after regulatory changes are
in place before those changes can be accurately measured in an
assessment. We are currently compiling any and all new information that has been collected since our last full stock assessment in 2005 with plans to complete a new assessment in late 2009 or early 2010. We will be happy to provide you with those results as they become available.
Thanks again.



The Department's adopted a conservation standard is 18% static
SPR per biological examination of stock, as outlined below in the 2005
assessment. What this means is that we believe there is a possible risk
of adversely impacting recruitment if SPR is allowed to remain below
18%. In order to avoid going below the threshold, the department has
adopted the following conservation standard. For spotted seatrout,
fishing regulations should not allow cumulative fishing mortality rates
to reduce the spawning potential of a cohort on average below 18% static
SPR. This conservation standard is designed to stabilize the spawning
potential of a cohort at or above the median level found in the 1980's,
where existing evidence indicates that the spawning stock had not been
reduced to a level that would adversely impact recruitment.



The 2004 status of the stock, defined as the static SPR, is
14.5%, a substantial decline from the 20.9% SPR reported in 2000. This
is below the conservation standard of 18% described above.



Current assessment in 2005, with data through 2004. Static SPR
of 14.5%. We are currently in process of reviewing, updating and
modifying this assessment to include new information sources and
assessment methods.

Speckmeister asked

"W"....that's old data....correct?

W answered:

Yes last one they sent, had to dig through emails to find it


They will not give 2010/2011 data

Where did you get the 18-19 SPR from? What years
