Pogey boats (purse seine nets) blanket the beach at Grand Isle (video)

9 pogey boats fishing Camanda Pass with 3 of them fishing right on the beach. This is unacceptable and its an outrage the State of Louisiana refuses to regulate these redfish/trout raping machines.

You mean that “gentlemen’s agreement” the state and the commercials have isn’t being honored?

The bill by Rep Orgeron, HB 535 will be heard in House Natural Resources Committee Wednesday morning. It will establish a half mile buffer off most beaches, 3 miles off Grand Isle, a mile off Grand Terre and a mile off Elmer’s to Timbalier Island. Please comment in favor at h-natr@legis.la.gov if you want to see these boats off the beaches.

Water balloon launcher and some piss balloons would handle it.

You better be ready to back up the piss Ballon launcher with some real heat

And of course they show up as soon as the trout do. Very frustrating

I don't see why a bunch of baws don't cause trouble with them when they get in that close. Make the area unfishable. Get tons of boat traffic around them, throw up dive flags and if they get aggressive defend yourself.
I doubt the rules will be strictly enforced if they manage to pass anyway.

Should be 3 miles statewide but I’ll take what we can get.

I emailed every legislator on that committee.
This needs to be addressed by the state.
This industry impacts the trout population more than “overfishing”
Pleas email your support in favor of this proposed law.

Do you realize the size of these boats? A few 22 foot bay boats and messing them up

You must have not seen the size of the boats at Grand Isle lately...
It was tongue and cheek, something needs to be done. I personally would support "mostly peaceful protests" that involved disabling of the ships.
I fully support a total ban on purse seining, it doesn't make sense for them to eliminate entire populations of fish on any level. It is not like they hold the cure for cancer, they grind them up and feed them to farm raised salmon.

Maybe call the Cajun navy
I’d imagine with those massive boats it wouldn’t make a difference, from the looks of the videos they dwarf the shrimp boats

I don’t have a dog in this fight but the guy making that video should have at least got the shoreline in that shot. He was clearly on a boat so how do you really know how far out the other boats were?

If you're familiar with Grand Isle it's pretty obvious where the boats are.
But yeah, he definitely could've done a bit better with it.
Vidrine wins the STAR almost every year by fishing with live pogies, right?

It sucks even more because the south Africans own the pogey plant in Empire now. More money leaving the US and trashing our fisheries with no shits given.

Whats that whale wars guy up to these days? Maybe we could all chip in and buy him an ice breaker boat. He could ram these assholes all day
