Out of curiosity, what is your relationship with CCA? Do you give them more than they give you?

because it was done by GCCA, the predecesor of CCA. That was hard.
GCCA was a grass roots organization focused on fisheries and recreational fisherman. CCA is a bloated "non-profit" that is more concerned about the commercial fishing interests. Sorry, but there is a reason why a lot of GCCA members no longer associate with CCA>

I am a participating member. I am not paid at all. Yes, I give them more money than they give me.
I simply get tired of the baseless allegations thrown out here all the time. I am the only one that stands up for them here. If someone shows me something solid about anything underhanded that CCA did or does within reasonable recency, again, I will self ban myself from the OB and from CCA.

OK and? There are a lot of TD posters that disagree with Galactic Inquisitor. See how easy that is to type?

I think some of you may be missing the core issue here. It's well stated that CCA’s mission is centered on the conservation of Louisiana’s marine resources. In my view, they've made real progress on that front—efforts like banning gill nets in state waters and designating redfish as a gamefish are notable successes.
However, what’s still missing from that list is the removal of the menhaden industry from our state and federal waters. Despite being recognized as the voice of Louisiana’s sportsmen and given a seat at the table to help shape policy and advocate before the Commission, CCA has been unable to effect meaningful change on this critical issue.

Hate on CCA all you want but is there an organization anywhere that can sway Louisiana politicians in the menhaden issue? CCA has been very vocal against it

check on WillyJ's PAC. They are apparently about to abolish pogie fishing unilaterally just by convening a board of 10 people with money! It's quite amazing.

Motorboat, it is best to let people think you are stupid, then to open your mouth and prove it. Based upon your admission, you know very little about CCA, and even less about me. So, you insult our SuperPAC and what we want to do. Two questions (1) If you so smart, what is our SuperPAC's name, and did you know we spent our 7 digits on handicap assessable ramps and fishing piers throughout the north central Gulf. That kinda kills your self-serving narrative.
CCA and GCCA were two totally different groups. The latter does however, like to brag about banning gill nets when it actually did no such thing.
I am in Washington 20 times a year and Baton Rouge, about 30. If you really believe politicians are swayed my Louisiana's CCA, you are not only drinking the Kool-Aid, but you also added vodka to your glass.
CCA refused to give an itemized statement of its payroll because it does not want to show the salary of its four highest paid employees.
CCA is domicile in Texas. No other Gulf state is domiciled outside the state iit represents but CCA of Louisiana. it is actually owned by five wealthy gentlemen with a desired goal to have recreational fisheries regulated by a select few. for a select few.
CCA refused to get into the Rigs to Reef fight because two of its owners had contracts to remove the rigs and one had the scrape metal contract.
CCA refused to get into the private vs. public land fight, despite it being exactly within their very own mission statement. because two of its owners are large lands owners in Southwest Louisiana and Northeast Louisiana.
It seems to like to criticize groups you know nothing about (Our PAC) and support groups you know nothing about (CCA-Louisiana)
So, since you refused to answer the first time, I will ask again-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

You just got burned cuz
Posted on 8/5/25 at 3:34 pm to SmoothBox
How the frick I get burned? He hasn’t shown us anything but allegations without links. Name names and provide links if it’s such common knowledge.
Posted on 8/5/25 at 4:13 pm to Motorboat
Bro, that’s a big time burn. The fact that that’s your best response proves that.
But I get it you’re a big advocate for CCA, there’s nothing wrong with that, but don’t pretend like they do much of shite.

I had a few inutes to do your job for you:
Yet it does: Charity Navigator
also from Charity Navigator LINK: Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) is comprised of 17 coastal state chapters spanning the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific coasts. CCA's strength is drawn from the tens of thousands of recreational saltwater anglers who make up its membership. From South Texas to the upper reaches of Maine, CCA's grassroots influence is felt through state capitals, U.S. Congress and, most importantly, in the conservation and restoration of our coastal marine resources. CCA's unmatched breadth and depth of volunteer involvement has made it the largest marine conservation group of its kind. Its grassroots network and unique combination of membership, fundraising and advocacy have enacted positive change on all levels of coastal marine conservation and management.
I havent criticized anything about your organization--just your dumb arse. In fact, I Iaud your efforts for vets and handicapped. Also, I know several key members of some of the groups that your PAC supports. It's not a competition bud. I do not know why you have to belittle other orgs that aren't yours. the only reason I did so is because you are an a-hole that can't provide receipts, but like to run your mouth. Just like a lobbyist.
Here are your groups and their Charity Navigator links:
Safari Club Safari Club
Nature Conservancy Group: There is no Louisiana based 501 c 3 for this. what?? That's a problem for you apparently.
Water Institute of the Gulf: Water institute
Congressional Sportsman Foundation Congressional Sportsman
Louisiana Hunter 4 the Hungry Program H4H
Theodore Roosevelt Association Teddy Roos Assn
Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership Teddy Roos Conservation partnership
Louisiana Wildlife Federation LWF

Oil and Gas did NOT suddenly decide to start removing rigs. Obama did that, using fear mongering based on the BP event to get money to throw at some of his contributors to cut down the rigs, and the contracts allowed them to get the scrap value, none were used as reefs. Some of the most iconic fishing spots were gone, almost overnight. Meanwhile, Jindal raided nearly $20M in the Rigs to Reefs fund that had been donated by O&G when he was shaking the sofa cushions so he could say he didn’t raise taxes.
I do not remember CCA screaming about either one of these, both of which forever changed offshore fishing off of Louisiana.
And I personally met with David Cresson multiple times on the pogey issue, it was apparent they had already struck a deal (caved), even as the Little General is selling himself as a sportsman while running for Governor.

I was at the pogey meeting at ldwf where David and omega guy were directed to meet and come up with a compromise. A deal was struck regarding buffer zones. If money was exchanged, I have no idea. If you link it or discover it was, please post it. I will eat crow.
