For bass fishermen, the LDWF's Inland Fisheries Section moved to change the 20-year-old regulations on black bass in the Atchafalaya Basin, the Lake Verret-Belle River area and Lake Fausse Pointe to allow for a creel limit of seven bass per day per angler with no size limits. A 14-inch minimum size and a 10-bass-per-day creel limit have been posted in these three areas since Hurricane Andrew devastated fish stocks in 1992. Both the deer and bass-fishing issues have a 120-day comment period. The new deer hunting areas, if approved, will take effect for the 2013-2014 hunting seasons, while the new Atchafalaya-area bass regulations will not become a regulation until sometime in late June.

As I said in the other thread. I liked fishing all day catching 40 fish just to get 6 or 7 keepers out of it. Was kinda exciting pulling up to the landing and seeing a green jeans and hoping 14 inches on his scale matched mine

i personally don't like it, i happen to like the 14" size limit...there are big fish in the spillway...they ARE THERE. i think they would have done better moving it to 5 over 14" and 5 under...
Either way, the laws only work if enforced, and I have never been checked fishing the spillway or verret (been fishing it my entire life). you know coonasses keep smaller fish anyway, it happens. i really wish they would have gone to a 12" limit first instead of removing it, that way we could really see if it's the fishing pressure hurting it or if it really follows their "study". If you're catching nothing but 11.5" fish in a couple of years you would have your answer and could reevaluate.

Does that mean you can catch 3 more with a size limit?
