Just received email from Shore Thing Charters:

Hey man,

Capt Sonny Schindler here with Shore Thing Charters. I have to field this topic almost every single day about the licenses. It is perfectly legal to go into LA waters, fish and return to MS waters(with a LA limit of fish). Where ever you doing the act of fishing, your license and your catch must comply with the state you are doing the act of fishing. If you keep a redfish under 18 inches or more than 3 redfish you legally can not stop and fish in MS waters. Same rules apply fish that swim. The agents we talk to said to not even take the boat out of gear on the way home.

FYI,
we do not have surcharge to go to the LA marsh or the islands. We used to apply that for a run to the chandelier islands, but we seldom go out there. In MS you are legal to fish on all of our boats as the charter license stays on the boat. In LA waters the license stays with the guide and the customers are able to purchase a Louisiana Charter Passenger License. It is good for 3 days, costs $10 and can be purchased online, over the phone or at the Walmart in town(Waveland, MS).

We talk with the DMR Agents regularly to make how we run charters is even close to bending the law. We would never put our customers, or our guides in harms way.

Hope this helps, have fun and be safe.
