I have met with fisheries biologists and always have know they were holding back their true thoughts due to politics. It’s hard to trust the biologists when they won’t tell you what they believe is the right move. My guess is a 14” min and 10 fish from mermentau to Sabine & 14” & 15 from mermentau east.
Me and TopwaterTiger were at the meeting in 2012 when the last numbers were presented and they were trending down at that time. Politics played a roll in doing nothing but politics can’t stop it now.

I’m for 20 trout total of which 5 can be over 20 inches. I have no scientific reasons just sounds good to me.

I think we’ll be lucky to have a 15 limit.

Close oyster harvesting for 3-5 years and watch the trout numbers explode.
Yep, new rules are coming I'm afraid and they are not going to be received well.

Size should be when fried, it would fit perfectly on a slice of fresh Evangeline made bread.

25 fish per person has always seemed like too many to clean anyway. Cutting the limit back is fine, but they are gonna need to improve the resource in other conservation methods aside from just reducing catch numbers.

Prepare thy ani boyz, we about to get fricked with no dinner, or movie, or even lube. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s gonna be 5 fish. Next year or the year after when we don’t have a hard winter and the river is low and people are catching trout two at a time: no way will they ever raise the limit again. The biologist(some of who can barely drive a boat) will be out there dropping their nets in the same exact spot as in 1975. For the record, we are still catching limits or near limits in the Terrebonne estuary.

5 would be a complete joke though.

The LDWF report outlined several management options either taken individually or in a combination, to include:
reduced creel limits;
Increase from the current 12-inch minimum size limit and/or a slot-size limit;
closed areas and/or closed seasons;
and, special regulations after severe winters.
Both factors reached high levels in 2007-2008, but have declined sharkly since. The LDWF report showed a decline in spawning stock biomass (SSB) from a high near 9 million pounds to this year’s near 4 million pounds, and a spawning potential ratio (SPR) decline from 20 percent in 2008 to near 9 percent in the current study.
With some certainty, the harsh winters of 2014 and 2018 are factors in the population downturn, and there’s a lingering belief in the scientific community — although not by all — and among recreational fishermen that the 2010 BP-Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster continues to affect marine organisms along and off Louisiana’s coast.
My prediction is 10 with 15 inch min with large areas being closed for trout fishing during certain times. Imagine Breton Sound being shut down from May to Aug

Would make my decision about buying a big boat a whole lot easier. 10 fish limit would make it almost not worth going for me anyway.

I think it is interesting that they blame over fishing for the situation. Let's talk about the oil spill. Let's talk about the Mardi Gras pass situation. I can see cutting the limit to let's say 15, but increasing the maximum length will hurt the average marsh fisherman. We could also limit the number kept over 20 inches. Why doesn't the state open a hatchery and work to improve the environment?

There were talks of a hatchery for Lake Charles, land has been donated but I think BP put that on a back burner. Thanks for bringing it up, I’ll make a call this week and try to find out what’s going on and update later.
I’m good with a slot 14”-20” but not sure it’s not a feels instead of help. Watched 10 4+# females get butchered a month ago, all with eggs. Louisiana mindset is I caught it so I should kill it, will never change I’m afraid.

BP oil spill really has started crashing the environment but so to has the severe over production of Louisiana oysters. Oyster reefs have been decimated over the years and the public is largely unaware of their disappearance over the last ten years.
BTW it’s not just the disappearance of trout that have people concerned it’s the loss of our Cochahoe and menhaden fishery as well. Flounders, croaker, white trout all have plunged too.

Do have any proof that the BP spill is still having environmental effects?
Oil is not near as hazardous to the environment as it is made out to be especially down here in a subtropical environment. The breakdown rate is fairly rapid.

The LaDWF’s scientists are citing it as a problem so I’ll defer to them

Meh, more of an excuse for shitty resource and habitat management but I digress.
Much of it was/is out of their control.

It’s all about $$ so they’ll cater to the fish hogs. Same with deer. 6 deer a year is outrageous but they’re scared they will lose license revenue so they chose to decimate the resource rather than piss off a couple greedy slob/meat hunters.
