By the time you factor in gas, food, time, and bait; those spec filets are looking mighty cheap

Absolutely correct. I can get redfish or drum on half shell across the street from my office for $12/ pound. This is 3 good sized pieces. You could eat them every day of the month at the market price and still not spend as much as you would on a boat note, tackle, gas, insurance, beer, etc.

To be 100% truthful I don't pay a dime for the specs. Coworkers are always offering up fish and venison in exchange for cooking at work. I have about 10lbs of snapped in the freezers waiting for the right day.

My brother is a boat captain for the big rigs deep out in the gulf.
He can get as many as he wants at any time of the day

I didn't think you could sell specks.

Maybe farm raised? I didn't think you could either

I've never heard this. I've always seen them for sale. Although growing up in the parish, never had to buy fish.

I think they come from Mexico where they have a commercial fishery for them. I don't think there is a commercial fishery for them in Louisiana or anywhere in the Gulf.

Not sure on the actual rule on this and I am sure JasonL can help us out, but I seem to remember that there is a small amount of specks that can be caught and sold, but not with gill nets like they used to???

There is a quota for commercial spec fishing around a million pounds a year and only caught with commercial rod and reel. No nets. For commercial fishing there is also a 14" size limit and no weekend fishing.

For non commercial fishermen size limit is 12" and quantity limit of 25 per person as well.
