There are a bunch of issues here.


This is the problem. I hear lots of people saying, “let’s make the rules based on science, not opinion”. Do we really trust the lwfd to do proper studies? Our fishery is constantly changing (introduction of fresh water, erosion, commercial fishing pressure, hurricanes, freezes, more/less predators). I’m not really into anything the government does and I so wish we could form a culture in Louisiana of catch and release. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening.
I just want my great grandkids to enjoy the fishery I am so passionate about and if that means I have to stop catching after 13 fish pp then so be it (I had plenty of solo days last year I could have filled the boat with 50+ trout).
Why not just try it out for a couple years and see what happens? The fishing after Katrina was on fire and some say that could be because of the decrease in fishing pressure.

Was the Redfish population ever in jeopardy at some point in Louisiana’s history? I heard the 80s was a rough period for Redfish, but I was born in 1996, so I’ve never heard of an issue with the Redfish population in my lifetime.
