re: LDWF Compliance Check of Menhaden Fishing Activities in Terrebonne Finds No Violations

If you are waiting for the C-apitol C-lown A-ssocation to do anything, you will be waiting a longtime.

I cant be 100% sure but I think what happened was the State layed those boundaries out a long time ago, islands gradually move but that State, being inept never moved the boundaries lines to coincide with the islands moving. Anyway, the frickers were well within a 1/2 mile of the beach and hopefully all the engines in their fleet blow up.

That plus some. People tend to turn their nose up at Redfish for the most part. Clearly its not getting traction with those in governmental positions and especially LA politicians who are the main hurdle. Needs to go above them to the federal level and people start harping on the migrational tarpon that are killed by the nets and the the forage fish decimation for Tuna, Snapper, etc… (more prized fish)

Bull minnow shite

These boats rape our fisheries. It needs to stop but never will. We are the only state in the Gulf that lets them come this close to land. Couple the Menhaden and shrimp trawlers and you have numbers in the millions for dead by-catch of juvenile fish.

Eating size croakers are very limited in numbers. Redfish numbers are declining. It’s ridiculous. All for what? Money and bait…

The public did a lot. I know CCA did a lot as well. But when Landry took the decision out of the hands of the wildlife commission and gives all power to CCA, TRCP, and the menhaden industry deciding on the final outcome it’s obvious they came to a financial agreement. Otherwise CCA could have dragged it on and forced the hand of the governor.

This is wildly inaccurate. The public is helpless and CCA has poor ineffective leadership. David Cresson served as Executive Director/ CEO of CCA Louisiana for almost 16 years and departed in March of this year to work in O&G.

CCA of Louisiana was a powerful organization and great ally of mine when Jeff Angers ran the organization

Trump already signaled federal action on this, for foreign interests exploiting US waters and resources. Omega is Canadian I think. So maybe Trump will shut them down.

Here you go motorboat. Sorry for the length, but you asked:

So, what have I done. Well, it is not just me but ten other ladies and guys. With our own funds, and through our super PAC, we provide financial and legislative support for the following groups:

Safari Club
Nature Conservancy Group
Water Institute of the Gulf
Congressional Sportsman Foundation
Louisiana Hunter 4 the Hungry Program
Theodore Roosevelt Association
Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
Louisiana Wildlife Federation

In addition, all eleven of us serve as Trustee/Board Members of at least one of the above groups. We also help with political issues when needed via our own lobby personnel.
We also take 125 wounded combat veterans fishing and hunting per year at no expense to themselves or their invited guests.

Now, before I get the ‘What have your none” part of my response, I want to provide you with a copy of the CCA-Louisana Mission Statement directly from its website:

The stated purpose of CCA is to advise and educate the public on conservation of marine resources.

The objective of CCA is to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public.

It is apparent that you are a Kool-Aid drinking, full blown cult member, with shorts, way too short, girly belt and shoes and a heavily starch Columbia shirt. So, at your next cult meeting, ask your fearless leaders the following:

What is the real reason CCA-Louisiana refused to get involved in the rigs-to-reef program when this issue would help the “conversation of marine resources.: [Sentence 1 of Mission Statement}

What is the real reason CCA-Louisiana will not get involved with public vs. private rights, especially when this issue would help “conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public.”:{Sentence 2 of Mission Statement}

Why, in 1993 when a U.S. Senator from Louisiana, who held a Subcommittee Chairmanship, requested CCA-Louisiana Leadership to appear in Key West, Florida, to testify regarding Red Snapper Allocations, it failed to not only appear, but even give the committee a response to be filed in the committee record. We were there, and CCA-Louisiana was blasted by the commercial fishery team. This was the birth of C-apitol C-lown A-ssociation moniker, created by a very recreational friendly U.S. Senator from Georgia? {U. S. Congressional Archives]

Why is it that a purported Louisiana conservation organization is domiciled, and trade marked under a Texas private ownership group? [Louisiana Secretary of State Official Records and Texas Secretary of State Official Index]

Why, despite thousands of 501C corporations in Louisiana and around the world doing so, CCA refuses to release an itemized payroll summary.

Why do they continue to insist it had the gill nets banned when in fact CCA was not even in existence when the ban was imposed.

When your leaders refuse to answer, check back, I will give the answers.

In conclusion, I will give you two bits of advice:

A very wise prophet once said ~ “Fill your brain before you empty your mouth.”

Scientists estimate a Galaxy is at least ten million times greater than a Star.

So now, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"

Wee Jeff done sold us out.
