Yes, it is. Ignorant too.
If you don’t like regulations then make specific arguments against them. Good luck because I haven’t heard a good one yet outside of economic impact. It’s the “wah wah wah what about…..pogie boats” deflection that’s getting stale.

Ah, so they can still be right off our beaches because no other state allows them while they say "we might do something in the future"

Just curious, what are you doing to help with the pogie boat situation? Many of the people supporting the new regs are actively against pogie boats (social media posts don’t count).

So frick the rec guy, the power boats seem to line the politicians pockets better

Here it is again, lol. I’m not even sure if you can use your brain at this point

So we're supposed to take the fall for habitat loss and pogey boats??

What a silly, reductionistic way to frame this. How about “what can I do, within my power, to make this place better”?

How much does Omega pay you?

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, lol. You make this too easy, man. Really, it’s hilarious at this point. Go dive into the research, turn off Facebook, do a little thinking (if you are capable) then come back and contribute with something useful (and hopefully beyond 2nd grade thinking).


Edit: Here is another thought. Dropping the rec angler limit actually gives us more ammo in our fight against the pogie boats. There is a lot of support against them and it’s likely just a few politicians in LA that are keeping them safe. Ive heard it’s a federally subsidized industry so the feds are ready to drop them as well. I have friends who are pushing the new regs who have also spent years going to the meetings in opposition of the pogie boats.

Even if we completely removed them for Louisiana we would still have a significant problem with redfish. It wouldn’t help near as much as you are implying. And before you ask, I’ve reached out to multiple people to to come up with a gameplan to frick the pogie boat industry. I’ll be using some resources im a part of to do everything I can to make that happen. My brains just big enough to go against them and have some self awareness to know I need to make personal changes as well.

One does something, the other doesn’t do squat.

Davis pond hasn’t done shite for lafitte except boost the bass fishing. That was sold as a land builder, except every time I go to lafitte I see less and less of it.

I was trying to figure out if he was from Omega or Daybrook. Probably one of the high dollar bagmen they use to drop off their tithe to the members of the legislature they’ve bought.

Well, this is an outright lie.


Explain the incredible amount of fish caught this year if things are so dire….

That's your rebuttal? Support your earlier statement. That's right, you can't because you made it up.

Feedback from locals is pretty much unanimous that it has declined since the change. Extremely declined since they allowed the oyster dredging. That in addition to insanely increased traffic in the ship channel, and dredging the ship channel. Big Lake is nowhere near what it was even 10-15 years ago.

10% of our 42 fish yesterday morning wouldn’t have made the new length. No idea how wl&f to I’ll handle under sized fish going forward, previously they would give a % of total before ticket.

So four out of forty two wouldn’t keep?

You’re complaining about catching forty two?

A 12 inch trout is pretty small. Do they come with one filet or two.

And yet bowfishing for redfish is still legal in Louisiana.
