Bl rant

CCA said themselves they were lobbying for the 3tail restrictions. Not sure who's on the koolaide here.

Pretty easy to find my office, Please email or drop off those facts and figures.
1. If industry takes over dredging of the channel, the Feds will never budget money for dredging ever again.
2. If your really in the loop, you wouldn't be talking out of school on an Internet board about company policy.
3. Say the word and I will get us a meeting with the port of LC, US Fish, COE & CCA to discuss your concerns.
4. Public knowledge, requests for total dredging $$ and actual dredging $$ is never the same.
5. Please introduce yourself at the next port authority board meeting.

How many trips have you caught? Please tell me how many fish are enough for a limit?
Please stay on topic, we are discussing your knowledge of dredging and who pays for it.

Where is your science proving there needs to be a limit?

Exactly and who gives anyone the right to place a limit on a fish they know ZERO about and you can only fish what 25 X's a year

Consult guides? Where was that on the trout issue. Oh wait, they listened to stansel because he was basically the only one who wanted a reduced limit, therefore he was agreeing with a few select CCA members.

Triple tail? if supporting the recreational fishermen is what they stand for, why not send out a survey on this issue? CCA knew where most recreational fishermen stood on this issue, but completely disregarded it.

Yes the CCA is all we have, but they would be better off doing nothing than playing around with some of the issues on their agenda.

If Cajunmade is right in the other threads, CCA is by no means doing themselves any favors anymore.

What is the deal with refusing to show where money is spent? Still haven't heard a CCA guy answer this question.

I would like to have an organization that we could trust and count on, but CCA continues to make that hard for lots of recreational fishermen.

Hey CMON man when I sent a letter to the CCA asking what resources they used to determine moving the trout limit down


The exact response from David C was

"It was the right thing to do"




Funny how I talk to many guides every week and none of them every say good things about CCA
. You do have one guide service who wears the stickers but that's it
Bring the CCA board down to Heberts and let's talk about oyster dredging.. better yet bring the freaken CCA state board and let's find out how many days they spend on the water a year and what do they see 1st hand... I will put money my wife goes out fishing more than the whole CCA State board combined

It's not company policy Raymond. It's pretty much common knowledge. I'll say this again... Local industry pay large amounts of money for dredging. Strictly dredging to keep the depth of the channel navigable for ships. I have no idea what you are trying to say...
Do you have any idea how much local industry pays the port of LC to dump dredging spoils in the leveed areas along the ship channel?? It's a lot!

Private industry cannot by law pay or dredge the ship channel per your earlier statements. COE has juridiction over the waterways and all dredging contracts. Who would private industry make the checks payable to? COE, Port of LC???
My offer of joining the local board so I can bring you to the Port meetings so you can actually understand what goes on is still on the table.
By the way, there are several areas on the ship channel that are in serious need of widening and deepening but due to budget limitations it will not happen. Rocking the areas previously mentioned will only happen when a certain org is able to get the COE to understand they are fighting a losing battle by dredging the same spot year after year.

Carry on

That's odd because we dredge the ship channel several times per year in front of our facility, and we pay for it.

I think we may be talking about 2 different issues..

Every one knows that the COE reigns supreme Raymond.

Are you dredging the navigable waterway between markers, or is this an offshoot of the channel or an easement owned by your company?

Industry does not pay or manage dredging of waterways like ICW or ship channels... Just like Judice in can't decide to just re-do Johnston street in front of their restaurant, but can do whatever they want with the parking lot.

There is "Supposed to be a lock box" that contains the tariffs charged to each ship off loading on ship channels pays and those monies are used (supposed to be dedicated for dredging) for maintenance dredging on an annual basis. We recieve very little of that money and beg for what we do get.

That is what I meant also. The ship fee is paid by the industry it carries to.
