Louisiana territorial waters and snapper

[Reel Screamers]

Eman, that issue came up at the Alabama meeting under the agenda action of redefining the definition of charter fishing. Th discussion and the rule proposed by the law enforcement committee would have done just that. The proposed new definition went something along the lines of ........ if you received anything of substance ..... in exchange for the trip.

Council member Corky Parent (sp) asked this very question and he was told that a true "cost sharing" trip would not violate this definition.

The tension was high in the room waiting on 40 to come around so this agenda item was tabled with no action taken.
