At the start of each trip the guide told us if there is ANY doubt about the fish being legal DO NOT SHOOT!. no undersize fish were shot on either trip. IMHO 5 fish by arrow is the same as five fish by rod n reel . Does Joe Blow who puts some lights on his boat and goes out shooting go by the law ? I would hope so and i will turn someone in for shooting / catching under size / over the limit. |

Dude you just contradicted yourself big time. GCCA was started by the Sperry Top Sider, CostaDelMar, Columbia shirt wearing COLLEGE graduates you love to hate. It's the same damn group of people that you now hate on. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. For the record I support 80% of CCA's actions. |

Well, if it's on the Internet it has to be true lol. You bash CCA for ignoring questions, but I'm going to ask you AGAIN. What is CCA's "agenda" that you spoke of earlier?

I'm sorry door dredging up this beat to death topic. My original intent was to basically ask if participating in the STAR = supporting CCA. Can we please remove this thread?

I stopped entering the STAR tourney years ago bc I didn't agree with the CCA and their approach to helping our area. Entering the tourney does help the CCA even if it is a small amount.
Problem with not supporting the CCA, there are no other organizations that lobby for our recreation fishing in SWLA. The other groups such as the oyster group are well organized and funded. Its a political battle and the one that has the louder voice and more funds will always win. I wish there was a fund only for Big Lake area. I would donate to that every year. In my opinion CCA is spread out in too many states. I think my dollar is spread out were only pennies hit our area. |

yes it does. sometimes you just have to draw a line and say youre not gonna help them in any way. the prizes are donated to them and they pocket the money. the numbers are there to see. quit supporting them because you wanna win something and there will soon be a much better way to have a real tourney.

Oysters - the oyster lobby is well funded. It would be a complete 'waist' of time and resources to try and fight it Who has done anything on Lake Calcasieu in 100 years? Aren't there some CCA reefs over there? Does that not count? It isn't much but it refutes what you are saying. CCA or DU or Delta or any other non-profit will ever fix all the issues, they have to do what they can do with the budget they have which isn't much when it comes to coastal work.

When you pay bananas, you get monkeys. 100k is peanuts to what some of these people could make on their own in the consulting world. You have to pay these people to stay around. It would be nice if you could pay a 22 year old right out of college $45k to run CCA but it isn't gonna happen. Not defending CCA, just defending non-profit conservation organizations as a whole because a whole lot of mistruths have been spouted off here and lies spread just as fast as the truth. Once again coastal work is very expensive. It would also be nice if CCA or DU or whomever could just be ran with nothing but unpaid volunteers but that isn't going to happen. I have worked on a few very worthwhile restoration projects in south La where we needed volunteers and every single time the majority of volunteers were not hunters or fishermen but blue-haired ladies usually a birdwatching club or garden club. Every single time. Everyone likes to talk the talk but not walk the walk. Support or don't support doesn't matter but make sure to read up on a few things about whatever organization you choose before making the decision and remember that NO organization is perfect. |

Maybe you should look at where the money came from for those reef projects. its so EASY to make everyone think they did something special. add up the numbers and then look at what they put into it. then try to tell me where the rest of the money is going. dont be blind by a little charade that they put on. that dang reef might as well been completely donated by the industry. heck.... the rock they used was trash left behind from road work that was also donated to them! |
