Seems to be a growing trend with fishing in coastal La.

LINK WLF violations

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited four men for alleged fishing violations on Dec. 14 in Terrebonne Parish.

Agents cited Humberto Matias, 36, of Ruston, Orlando Bueso, 52, of Covington, and Javier Cruz, 54, of Mandeville, for possessing undersized red drum. Agents also cited Alexis Avila-Cedeno, 53, of Pasadena, Texas, Bueso, and Cruz for fishing without possessing basic and saltwater fishing licenses. Cruz was also cited for possessing over the limit of red drum.

Agents observed the subjects actively fishing off the levee off Bayou Sale Road in Terrebonne Parish.

Agents made contact with Matias and found him in possession of an undersized red drum. Agents seized the undersized red drum and returned back to the water alive.

Agent then made contact with Avila-Cedeno and found him fishing without his basic and saltwater fishing licenses and in possession of two sheepshead. Agents seized the sheepshead and returned them to the water alive.

Agents made contact with Bueso next and found him fishing without his basic and saltwater fishing licenses and in possession of four undersized red drum and two legally sized spotted sea trout. Agents seized the red drum and trout and donated them to a local charity.

Lastly, agents made contact with Cruz and found him fishing without his basic and saltwater fishing licenses and in possession of undersized and over the limit of red drum. Agents seized the eight undersized red drum and donated them to a local charity.

The daily limit of red drum is four per licensed fisherman with a size limit between 18 and 27 inches.

Fishing without basic and saltwater fishing licenses brings up to a $350 fine for each offense. Possessing undersized and over the limit of red drum carries up to a $350 fine for each offense.

Bueso will also face civil restitution totaling $164 for the replacement value of the red drum and spotted sea trout. Cruz will also face civil restitution totaling $212 for the replacement value of the red drum.

Agents participating in the case are Senior Agent Cody Salpietra and Sgt. Norman Deroche.

They could write tickets every night to hispanic guys keeping bull reds off the pier next to Bridgeside in Grand Isle

I came here to post this. And at least half of them fling those oversized reds right up on the cleaning table at Bridgeside and clean them and toss the carcasses over the side. They could keep a crew of greenjeans with writer’s cramps scratching out tickets. Never mind the ones boxing hundreds of white trout without any sort of fishing license.

Every piece of waterfront property that is not private is covered by people down in Terrebonne. The litter they leave is nothing short of amazing.

Louisiana will never not be trashy in that regard. Sad but true!

Add a couple zeros to those fines and maybe then the amount may be enough to help deter some of this.

I highly doubt the state will receive any of those fines.

People who litter, especially in WMAs/fishing areas while using them, should be publicly whipped Starship Trooper style.

Back in the day cops used to make you clean up when you was caught littering. If they would make these guys clean the levee instead of writing them a ticket it might do something. 99% of the Hispanics that get caught aint going to court anyway. ACLU would probably have something to say about it.

If they are illegals I wonder why our Republican Governor isn't having them turned over to ICE.

But, but. but, my family likes fish tacos. Standard practice around here is to throw the fish in a bucket and send a kid to haul them to the vehicle and dump them in the back and then cover them up.
