This is not about Politics or Religion

This is about an Epic fail on our lake and needs to be talked about

Completely agree, Waltrip. Those studies you refered to before, any where I could find them to check em out? I've never come across them in all my broad researching I've done.

Cool deal. Have to check it out sometime.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make before, and as I've stated, I am not trying to argue with you or say you don't know what you're talking about, but going off of my background in ecology, there are too many variables that say if you too everything away from those fish, or you increased that population past its K, fish are going to move out of the system. Telemetry studies only tell you so much, and most telemetry studies do not tag every individual. I completely agree with you, there are a LOT of fish out there. But nature has a way of balancing itself.
I understand these fish will live in this system all their life, but those telemetry studies show how fish move based on salinity. Who can argue that they will not do that in response to a food shortage. No one, because 1) we don't know what constitutes a food shortage for trout, and as you have noted, on a calm day the lake is alive with bait fish, and 2) we just don't know how they would respond to a shortage because as far as I can tell, we have not experienced such an event because it is an open system and bait fish will move in and out.

You can talk about it all you want. There's an old saying that goes..."The squeaky wheel gets the grease", but, I think the bearings are gonna dry up in this case. For the sake of assumption, let's assume that the law was an "epic fail", although, there's no facts to prove this theory. Do you really think the powers that be are going to admit their mistake by overturning their decision? How can you say that this is not about "politics" when you've used that as your platform all along.....politics and money?

Well, what exactly do you think needs to happen for it to be changed? I doubt seriously catching 45 trout without a 5 lber is gonna carry much weight.

Well i know this...I fish over 100 days a year and when I fish I always locate bait so unless our fish or dumb, blind and have zero instinct I know for a fact we dont have lack of food

One thing I have learned is dont over think a easy problem...you can use the moon, sun, stars ,rain ,wind or even how it hangs in the mourning but its not that hard of a problem.

What has changed ??
1)2005 Hurricane

2)2006 Trout Limit to 15

what could cause a problem?
Hurricane? Blew our levees at Grand and Lambert bayou and trout and redfish population exploded to record numbers the next few years
NO REPORTS of any type of fish kills
Lake was loaded with bait and had a huge shrimp bloom
My data books have 2006-2007-2008 my largest numbers of fish caught thus far

Limit change?
Still catch larger number or trout
Still have tons of bait and shrimp
Lack of big trout vs pre limit change


We have had real wet years and real dry years and all my books show me catching close to the same numbers of fish each month from year to year....with some months i have fished more days than other due to weather

We have 60 foot ship channel that could be holding all the larger trout and no one is catching them.....??

No, but if you can prove that you need to be catching 75 trout instead of 45 for the sake of the health of the system, that SHOULD carry a lot of weight. SHOULD because sound ecological knowledge is hard to come by without the proper monetary support, and because not all will listen to sound ecological knowledge.

My point exactly. Not bashing on Waltrip, just stating that no one has the evidence to back it up, now or when it was originally changed.
