Here come they "go to ricks/lip-sticks on bourbon" and "if you 100% want to catch them go to the Mansion* in Amite."
Regarding what youre wanting, summer time can be a good time at Lake Road. Used to hand line for them regularly on the right side of road just before and after the boat launch under the powerlines. The chicken on a string method works best. No need to go out into the lake, although you could do it near where the old camp was at the end of Lake Road.

Appreciate the insight.
Most of which I have done and continue to do as a member (more so just a decent outdoorsman), including being present to criticize--albeit this keyboard stuff is fun and seems to be getting directly to many CCA higher ups.
Happy Fishing this Summer.

Have to be a CCA member to be in the STAR. So yeah, happy to be a CCA member. As for meaningful, that a little vague and subjective.
Also, have you ever heard the expression too many chiefs and not enough indians. I am happy to pay/give money (being an indian) to an organization/group that aligns with my values and proactive uses those dollars tofurther those values (the chiefs). CCA aligns with some of those values as they do some good work, which justifies my measly money I give them every year. Other groups are more in line with my values, i.e. they receive more.
Also if CCA hates the idea of people entering a tournament for the purpose of winning something--maybe they shouldn't have a tournament? Just hope I win that Silverado!

Pretty disingenuous comment, trying to compare what one person has done compared to an organization that receives millions of dollars on the alleged promise of helping fisherman/the resource and has some of the largest political capital in the state.
Regardless, CCA started out with a noble cause, and still does some good work, but has largely turned into an organization of who's who that cares more about the prestige of being on the board, running a cool banquet, etc, than care about burning some political capital/doing the work. It's been 10-15 years now and the pogie industry is still raping our redfish/tarpon populations, our structure that has made LA a staple for nearshore/offshore are being cut down, there has been little to no action to establish reef zones (unlike our neighbors to the East), and water access to navigable waters still doesn't even appear to be on CCA's task list.
Not to say CCA hasn't done good work, they have, including helping put out some reefs in Lake P. But at the end of the day, CCA rakes in big money every year just to turn around and say year after year that "we tried."
I say all of this as a member of CCA, because let's be honest--we all want to catch a Chevy Silverado.

Between 1) oyster lobby, 2) LA Rest. Assoc., 3) LABI (and their offshoot groups), and 4) Family Forum--nothing in this state gets done without their approval.
Not to side rail, but it's nice to have our token "legislature" tho.
CCA all around is a joke. The top three priorities for CCA should be: 1) get rid of pogie boats, 2) work to keep structure offshore/near shore and stop destruction of the rigs all across LA, and 3) build marsh in Louisiana. They have failed in all three.

Thanks haha. I just had to change username-- I didnt realize when i signed up everyone uses alter egos/anonymous names.
Not sure what I was thinking using my real name to sign up in the first place, but live and learn.
