I don't care what kind of spin you try to put on it. When you set aside a portion of the TAC for business use, it's commercial, not recreational. When you tell the average person that they can not buy a license and catch red snapper unless they pay a third party to take them fishing, you have taken that angler out of the recreational sector and placed them in the commercial sector.

just my opinion

I don't really get into snapper fight because it's the most absurd thing ever ! I have been working in Gulf Of Mexico for 15 years and traveled from High Island block to Grand Isle block

I have seen so many red snapper on platforms it's sick !! I watched charter boats catch 100 and throw em all back to keep two biggest and see 60 of the 100 float off dead
( not charter boats fault he has paying people to catch two snapper and they want to let others go)

I see red snapper so thick on top of the water it was solid red for as far down as you could see

I seen work boats catch supper every day !!

Red Snapper might be the most abundant fish in the gulf next to mullet


Feds are freaken RETARDS beyond measures !!

W. I agree.

Agreed W. We fished 30-60 miles off a week ago and couldn't keep the snapper off our hooks. I have no idea how many we caught but it was crazy.

i heard a rumor of possibly 39 snapper days for next year....lets hope this is true,,,it came from pretty good source thats been in Washington battling it out for us
not a done deal, but best news i have heard yet

[Let um land]

We will be lucky to get anything over a week and a half. Just a prediction.

I am on the committee that will decide the allocation to give to the charter boats this year. Let it be known that Louisiana is 100% for regional separation, meaning that we get to control all waters south of our state. Whether or not that will happen is anyone's guess at this point. We will have a meeting in the beginning of December to decide how to proceed with these issues.

Rumor I am hearing from the higher ups in the Gulf Council is that the other states, besides Texas, are shooting for a 1 fish per man limit, to be able to run the season longer. Will have more updates in the next few weeks.

1 red snapper per person.... Thats crazy... Not even worth it.

I agree. I might as well just stay inshore and keep scratching out my 5-10 trout trips than burn 40 gallons of fuel to catch my "limit" in one drop.

Its ashame that we live next to the a gulf which is so rich in natural food sources and the government prevents us from enjoying it.

I cant stand outlaws but this **** is giving me the urge more and more each year to say F-IT and geaux fill up the fish box.

Disclaimer: I have never and will NEVER break the law by exceeding my limit of fish but that doesnt mean dumb *** laws dont give me the urge to!
