Isn't that all it was open last year?

Did they at least leave the limit at a whopping TWO fish?

snapper regs are a joke. its like saying the limit on specs on big lake should be only 2 because they population is down. some rigs we fish you cant get bit by anything else they are so thick.

The problem isn't the quantity of fish it is the age of the fish. Snapper live to be over 50 years old. Right now there's a lot of 15 year old fish they're just waiting for the population to get older and then they will increase the limit.

Really dont' think so. 15 years ago the limit and season was double of what it is now.

The reason for the limit is size and age ( mainly age)
That's from the research scientist.

So meaux is correct in his statement.
