There is one. Can’t find it but I’ve asked several people in CCA and they all said the same. There’s one on Corpus and now in LA. All this secretive crap is getting old. Everyone sees through the bull shite

There is no fish hatchery in SWLA. BP was supposed to build 2 in the state after the spill in East and West. Didn’t happen. LDWF repurposed the money to build public fish piers.
PS. I know the landowner who was donating the land in SwLA. It didn’t happen!

Makes my job a bit easier so I’m for it. No guide limit also makes it illegal for the guide to catch and keep any trout or red but can hook and hand off rod to customer. I have always done that.

I’m not opposed to more regulation for bowfishing, but calling for a ban is just ignorant.
Does it have any impact on you to know Louisiana is the only gulf state that allows it?
I mean in all of this conversation, even with elevated restrictions we still do far less regulation than our neighbors and I think that is important context.

We’ve got far less regulations because we’ve got far better redfish habitat. Bowfishing, done legally is doing nothing to the population compared to rod and reel fishing.
Like I said though, I’m not opposed to more regulation. More oversight on charters, a potential season, etc.

Guess who donates to a fish hatchery owned by CCA in southwest LA?
So there's a super secret black ops fish hatchery owned by CCA? What would be the purpose of this? Do they have it under a commercial laundromat and only let the fish out at night?

Pogie fishing puts a lot of Louisiana people to work. Especially Cameron Parish. I like what they did to start. Push them further offshore.
3 redfish limit is absurd. Better to require throw a la of all over 24”
Bow fishing isn’t hurting anything. They still have to honor limits.

And guess who doesn’t. Recreational fishing associations. All talk

We have better fishing and alot more inshore habitat. We can afford bow fishing.

Not as many as the industry says they employ and none of those jobs pay that well. Bet most are on parole.
Pogie plant in Cameron is no more, those boats are from Intercoastal City.
Agree, atleast here in SW La there is only one commercail bowfishing outfit and it's a one man op. I rarely see them when i am running early in the morning and they are easy to see.

No, it's true. Other states allow bow fishing, but none allow bow fishing of game fish which is what we're talking about - redfish.
Mississippi: "Game fish may be taken only by hook and line with one or more hooks (including rod and reel with artificial bait), trot-lines, throwlines, limblines, set hooks, free floating fishing devices(jugs), and yo-yos. Each person having a valid fishing license may use no more than 100 hooks per person."
Alabama: "It shall be unlawful for any person to take, catch, or kill or attempt to take, catch, or kill any game fish by any toher means than ordinary hook and line, artificial lure, troll, or spinner in any of the public waters of Alabama."
Florida: "The following is a list of species that are prohibited for harvest by spearing... Red drum"
Texas: "Bows are legal for taking non-game fishes such as gar, buffalo, mullet and sheepshead. A bow may be used to take any species of fish that is: NOT listed as a game fish." Red drum is listed as a game fish.
Louisiana is the only gulf state which allows bow fishing of redfish.

What Pogie fishing does in terms of employment and revenue to the state is nothing compared to recreational fishing. According to the pogie boat industry's own numbers, they support about 800 jobs and bring about $500 million in revenues.
But, according to this link, recreational fishing adds almost 2 billion to the economy and 17,000 jobs. That's four times as much as the pogie industries rosey numbers, and 21 times as many jobs.

Louisiana’s seafood industry generates $1.92 billion in total sales annually and supports about 33,391 jobs. Recreational fishing adds another $1.96 billion in sales and supports nearly 17,000 jobs in the state. In addition to sustaining a large part of the economy, the Mississippi River Delta’s fisheries also support a unique way of life for generations of Louisianans.
And according to this link it's about the same.

You are still running over and shooting at shallow staging fish. Putting pressure on them when they are most vulnerable. Is the impact significant? I have no idea but the impact is present.

The consensus of the OB is that there's triple the amount of bowfishermen than rod and reel, they all go over the limit, everything is undersized and you can pretty much gig them like flounder because they don't move
