Bass slot limits removed on six Louisiana lakes

Inland fisheries biologist Mike Wood told the commission that the slot limits on the lakes have proven ineffective because of the catch-and-release culture that exists among bass anglers.
"With the slot limits, anglers were encouraged to harvest fish under the (slot) length range, which would produce larger fish," Wood said. "Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Anglers in their best efforts for conservation had a much higher tendency for catch and release. They weren't managing the fishery as we'd hoped."
Removing the smaller fish would have reduced competition and allowed fish to grow more rapidly through the slot, Wood explained.
Since the regulation was ineffective, the department recommended slot limits be removed on Chicot Lake, Cross Lake, Vernon Lake, CLECO Lake (a.k.a. Lake Rodemacher), Spanish Lake and Black Bayou (Benton).

He can't say this about D'Arbonne every 3yrs they drain it and the fish get murdered. I wish we had a 15" minimum.

Yoyos are playing a big role in the depletion of fish...

I don' think the slot will officially be removed from these lakes until 100 days after January 9th (April 19th or so).
Looking forward to the removal on Cross and Black Bayou, it's going to make both of these lakes a lot more tournament friendly.
