Friend,
This change is long overdue. A 25 fish limit was a mockery to conservation efforts.

I totally agree. No reasonable person needs to keep 25 fish. It's been 15 for a long time on biglake and it never bothered me.

It's real.

No one can be certain of how these regs will help the population but conservation efforts are overdue in LA. I’m always blown away at how much the average angler prides themselves on conservation in states like TX and FL. The “I deserve everything in our resource” mindset in LA needs to go with the wind. Even if you keep every fish you catch, we all should be doing more for a fishery that gives so much to us.

Very Democrat way of thinking. "I don't need this so no one does"

Plenty of people may only get to go once or twice a year so 25 is plenty reasonable. Does someone that goes twice a week need to keep 25 every time? Probably not but that’s not my call

The fisheries are in no way close to being the same. The anglers in those states have far fewer fish, but much larger ones due to the environmental conditions. No matter what regulations are enacted in Louisiana the results won’t be replicated due to that. As long as people aren’t wasting fish, I don’t see an issue.
I rarely ever have a piece of fish hit the freezer, what I can’t eat immediately gets sent to friends who don’t fish.

I don’t understand this at all…it’s also very hard to square coming off an insanely successful speckled trout year. If there was any actual evidence of a sustained decline , I’d be the first to support this, but there isn’t. It’s all bullshite from a handful of yrs with tons of freshwater and colder than usual winters.

Kemo,
What’s your take on how this will affect charter business? How was it at big lake when they changed it?

I wasn’t referring to regulations. Picking up trash, investing in public opportunities, fighting for clean water, and actively engaging in various conservation efforts outside of just commenting on social media/forums are just couple ways they participate in conservation.

I have absolutely no problem with people who do this. None at all

Let’s throw all the research from LDWF out the window. At the very least, we know that habitat degradation and fishing pressure are not going to get better. We are eventually headed towards a time where stricter regulations will be absolutely necessary. Some, like myself, slightly prefer erring on the side of caution and others don’t think it’s worth the effort. At the end of the day, we can all catch as many fish as we want and as long as we want. The only thing anyone loses with the regulations is a few extra extremely costly filets. Others are free to disagree and I genuinely understand both sides. It’s the absolutely bs, unfounded counter arguments and deflections that perturb me.

I have no issue with the new limits. But the elephant in the room continues to be the Pogey industry and the massive amounts of juvenile trout, red and other fish decimated because of them.

I actually agree with #1/2 on your list as being high priorities for this state. I think the first is ruined by a small minority of folks. The second one brings up the mess on what someone actually owns, and I certainly feel the public has gotten the short end there. I also feel there should be more public piers/accessible points for people to fish.
Fwiw I also agree with the absolute need to build back the wetlands, though I disagree with how they are going about it.

I hope it’s real. I like the change

Moved to LC in 07 and started learning the trout game but Ray Charles could catch a limit at that time. Typically the fish were 1#_2# with some larger and all on plastics. I started to see a decline after the state allowed oysters to be dredged and not tonged.
Charter business isn’t going to suffer, most don’t care and actually welcome the changes since we see what’s happening daily. I have been trying to get my clients to self regulate to several years and for the most part it has worked.

Maybe give us some money back on our fishing licenses that went up tremendously Especailly if you are going to cut regulations after we paid for a certain bay limit per day…
