I don't understand what is the problem with 15 fish? My god is this the only way you can feed your family is with speckled trout?

I love the 15trout limit....... I was not for it but I agree with it.

Here is the deal! I talk with some guys who dont get on the internets and post things but they are out on the water 260 days a year! Now they talk about the samethings I said above! Nobody was pointing out one person or persons!

Chas said where does greed come in at.......Ok here is where it comes in...

TRIPLE TAIL. We don't know a damn thing about them! they only show up at certain times of the year. And with out any research or evidence......BAM that easy......we place a limit

Contradiction abounds. :smokin:

"TRIPLE TAIL. We don't know a damn thing about them! they only show up at certain times of the year. And with out any research or evidence......BAM that easy......we place a limit "

MS & TX have very good data on triple tail. It is not LDWF fault they do not have the funding to study the species better. How is it a problem to borrow neighboring states data to help protect this fish until more data can be obtained? You say they only show up certain times a year. How do you know that with a limit protection on them, they might start showing up more, they might move further inshore to spawn like they do in other states. OR they might not....who knows.

Like MedHeavy said in another post somewhere. "man left to his free will, will decimate this planet and all of its resources."

I'm not understanding your logic?

Salty...

Give me your input on triple tail.? My input was I really thought they was going to research a little before. Slamming a limit in place!

Here is one limit I want to see in place...raise length from 12 to 14 inches on trout

You mother lovin' texan! :eek:

Sorry can't resist,

then you would never catch your limit W.

My logic was simple... I made it in my post.....

More need to get involved in research and put some effort into more than a opinion

Research = $$$

''

Tags are FREE........... :rolleyes:

i tagged a 6 pound trout, so BAM. Am i a conservationist now??? lol

only cause you TAGGED...

Triple tail research...

I tagged something yesterday about 100 lbs that smelled like a trout!! I'm a conservationist too!!! Oh wait, nevermind, I ate it......

both of these were tagged by moi. 2.8 pound and 6 pound. thank ya.

Yall are missing the point..I'm not saying that if you dont tag a trout your not a conservations.......I'm saying if your going to go to Baton Rouge to push limits and write articles and talk a good game.....

Then yes you should also get out and tag some fish for research........If its trout,Triple Tail or redfish...

You can be a conservationist in many ways! I'm just talking about a small % of people who push for laws and write articles but I don't see there research as a individual....

that's my point.

Lets use this for example!!! ........ Ok.. Im going to write a article that thinks we need to place a limit on white trout!......I say because we have no limt some guys are loading up 100.s of these fish. I think were going to fish them out!! Lets vote do you want a limit on white trout yes or no.

Now if i would write that I would of placed about 200-300 tags in white trout to see how many are being recaptured to see what the time frame of growth and travel......I would not just push a issues with out helping find the problem myself

Here is one limit I want to see in place...raise length from 12 to 14 inches on trout[/QUOTE]

I agree with w on this one ! I would also like to see a 15 trout limit state wide ! !

call me stupid or whatever, but I dont see how tagging a trout is such a great step in research anyway. to me all thats doin is showing you travel patterns and such. I dont see how thats giving good hard data on fish population to adjust limits anyway.

can someone explain how this helps so much.

I know it provides info on certain things but how does it prove anything about reproduction and population size

You just happen to beat everyone else to it.....:*****:
