re: Trout regulations back to square one

Here's what I propose.
- Eliminate Pogey boats off the coast of Louisiana. Doing this will greatly improve the Red fish stocks, speckle trout and juvenile snapper mortality.
- Reduce daily bag limits for Redfish and Trout.
- No harvest allowed for captain and crew.

This is what is needed. 25 trout is mostly wasteful no matter the impact or lack there of to the fishery.

This should have happened years ago. But in typical LA fashion, people got paid and they’ll get paid again once the damage is done and conservation efforts begin

Truth....and only LA seems to wait until there is a major problem to begin any sort of conservation efforts.

The state senator who runs the committee that the pogey bill was in has an Omega plant in district. He killed it. Bill would pass and get signed into law but he is in the way.

Which senator?

Bob Hensgens - Senator over District 26 in Abbeville right where Omega is operating.
Oh...he's also the chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee.

Seriously, would you like me to mediate this for you guys? I don’t live in Louisiana no dog in this fight and have actually been involved in litigation on this exact issue for CCA in Mississippi. I know the science on this issue like the back of my hand.

I don't have any authority to hire you but I'd love to talk with you about it.

what does lowering the limit have to do with size? that makes no sense at all. lack of big fish is a direct result of pressure. when was the last hurricane?

Lower harvest percentage should theoretically result in more fish reaching larger size. Fish avoiding being culled and thus continue growth and lifespan. More breeding females. More eggs that will hatch.

Nothing will be right until we get rid of or overhaul this:
quote:
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission
The Commission is charged with the control and supervision of the wildlife of the state, including all aquatic life. The Commission operates as a policy-making and budgetary control board, with no administrative function. The Commission receives and reviews biological, socioeconomic, and other technical data and management recommendations from LDWF, gathers public input, and ultimately votes on which actions will best achieve long-term management goals. In general, the Commission is charged with setting seasons, times, places, size limits, quotas, daily take, and possession limits based upon biological data and setting fees for nonresident recreational fishing licenses, among other authorities.

I understand your theory, but every time I hear someone talk about management of their bass pond, they talk about how if you don't harvest then all you will have is small skinny bass. I know that doesnt necessarily translate 100% to trout in an open environment, but the logic is obviously contradictory to your statement above.

Because of the finite forage and biomass a pond can sustain. You're talking pond management tactics.
Why do you think catch and release is promoted on bigger bass fishing lakes? Why do you think release of bass is a rule in every major bass fishing tournament/tour?

First 25 caught - no throw backs.

If they aren't gut hooked or have a hook in the gills then speckled trout have a good survival percentage if released immediately
