LWF discussing changing red/spec regs
Quote:
Randy Pausina, LDWF?s head of fisheries, said commissioners have inquired about the possibility of reducing the speckled trout creel limit from 15 to 10 in the western part of the state to match more conservative regulations recently put in place by Texas, and also the possibility of reducing the minimum size limit for redfish to make fish under 16 inches legal

I wish they would quit messing wish it for a few reasons, especially since its 100% reactionary. First, if your estuary is in good shape, don't kill tourism and guides in those areas. My biggest fear is that the pressure drift east towards the areas I fish. If they are worried about Texas pressure in western LA, then make it more expensive for native TX anglers to get a LA license. I'm not for lowering the redfish limit under 16 inches for anywhere. If they change it to 14, they may as well drop the size limits all together.
