Please share your extensive personal stock assessment.

Either the federal government doesn't know what they are doing or our LA biologist are bad at estimating counts. I believe it is the former. I answered the LA Creel survey 4 times this summer. Never got one from the feds. Here is Louisiana's stock assessment:

The extended federal red snapper season that closed on Labor Day ended with more than 100,000 pounds still on the table before Louisiana’s self-imposed snapper quota is reached — leaving the potential of a fall state season a distinct possibility.

According to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries’ LA Creel program, which measured the offshore catch near real-time, anglers caught more than 936,000 pounds of red snapper during the extended season.

That opens the door for a possible fall season, with almost 108,000 pounds that could be caught before Louisiana’s 1.04 million pound quota is reached.

I have no personal stock assessment neither does that poster that is the point. Hearing from a few fishermen there are snapper everywhere and repeating the message without knowledge is foolish
