So an organization doing what its members want is a bad thing? You know that surveys are taken asking what members want, right?

I was a CCA member for nearly 12 years, I was never asked to answer a survey. Never, not once. However, if that's the case, I can't help but wonder why do they not get involved with the shallow water use issues?
Since you know more about this than I do, what's the quick explanation of the state season vs the fed season? and the 3 mile 10 mile thing? Has anyone ever actually been pinched someone from US fish and game? Theoretically what would happen if someone from the fed tried to stop you?

luckily all my snapper are caught in state waters these days

I believe CCA can make more of an impact with the fishing regulations because the amount of money needed to help change a regulation is small compared to the amount needed to fix coastal erosion.
The snapper issue is a smaller population of ppl. And I think that is why they help get ppl heard.
The coastal corrosion issue is a lot larger with more than just fisherman involved, therefore is should be Louisiana in general voicing there opinion and not only fisherman.
Just my 2 cents...

Like what? Public/private land use issues? Because it has been settled in the courts. There is no way to win this issue without the right fact pattern to overturn whatever your problem is. (whatever a win is depends on which side you're on)
quote:

There is no quick explanation, but I'll try to summarize best I can. Others may have more insight. When all of this overbearing federal BS started, LA saw that the feds were basing snapper seasons on bunk science (i.e. we have snapper everywhere). Anglers were losing days, the economy losing money.
LDWF started to push back. Instituted their own season within state waters. Lobbied to extend state territorial waters out to 10 miles (previously it was 3). Feds recognize their jurisdiction as three miles out. State claims 10 miles out. Since LDWF is basically the only real enforcement arm for federal fisheries, LDWF is not enforcing snapper possession within 10 miles even though the feds claim to control that 7 mile buffer.
This is/was all part of LA's/Gulf States' attempt to get regional management of the gulf.
quote:
Has anyone ever actually been pinched someone from US fish and game?
I'm sure someone has but see above. The LDWF mostly enforce and the feds do not have the enforcement resources.
quote:

If you are caught with snapper out of the Federal season, you could be ticketed, boat seized, whatever.

Take a look at this recent CCA project. I think it meets your criteria.

What does it take to get registered as a charter captain.
On a completely unrelated note, I will be taking "charter" reservations soon

How much does a charter license cost?
Posted on 4/23/15 at 10:42 am to aVatiger
It is the captain's license that is hard to get since you have to have so many hours logged under a licensed captain to take the test.
Posted on 4/23/15 at 11:30 am to Motorboat
Swollfest is the 11th-13th

It's really not that many hours.
•This license requires at least 360 days of Documented Experience in the operation of vessels, with 90 of the 360 days occurring in the last three years. Experience gained prior to 15 years of age may not be counted.

quote:We had a Coast Guard boat come up to us about 5 miles out in Grand Isle last summer. We had just arrived at the platform and were rigging up. The guy asked me what we were fishing for and I told him mangrove snapper. Said we'd have to go back to the 3 mile line to keep red snapper and left.
and the 3 mile 10 mile thing?
quote:My neighbor in GI did by the Coast Guard (I think) last year. They were about 9 miles out and had red snapper on board. They didn't confiscate his fish but gave him either a ticket or a warning. Nothing ever came of it.
Has anyone ever actually been pinched someone from US fish and game?
frick the feds in the arse.
