Thanks for posting and keeping the drum beating.

Everyone should be pissed at this. It's not just fisheries or even wildlife. This crap is going on in every area the federal government can touch.

Exactly. Everyone wants to believe all these stupid damn Obama conspiracy chain emails or Benghazi or whatever. But there is a clear cut example of the federal govt mismanaging and overstepping their bounds right in front of us. They are literally trying to kill offshore recreational fishing. People are crazy if they think this is just about snapper. Next it'll be triggerfish, then grouper and so on.

Many ignored the recent catch share ruling. Most will realize how big it was when we have a 1 day federal season next year.

Many have said "screw it" and catch snapper whenever we want

I think I'm there myself. What is the penalty if you're caught with a limit out of season?

Not sure. But is it really worth it? I'm all about fillet and release, but that sure is a lot of risk for such a small reward.

That's a little more difficult for those of us that don't live one Louisiana
We ain't got that 9mile limit.

$1,000 if I remember right

That won't fuel up the boat

Is alabama the only gulf state left without it?

Wick, I thought so too becuase they are linked but the hearing with the proposed fix is actually from Feb 2014.
