In the link I shared it says the law was passed June 23, 2025 and went into affect the same day. The article was written by the AMERICAN SALTWATER GUIDES ASSOCIATION; these guys are 100% onboard with the new rule. I think it’s an excellent step forward in red fish conservation and I hope our letters to some of the key LDWF member board helped thanks to Devin for posting the addresses so we could have our voice heard. Maybe LAFB helped with this change, it sure couldn’t have hurt it any. I don’t use this phrase much but shout out to Devin and LAFB for posting the email addresses!

Discussion is good. That’s what I like about this forum, people can be brutally honest, knowledgeable and have fun and learn!

[keithl]

Thanks Devin. Should have used all of my resources before posting!

[keithl]

Excellent report Josh! Great pictures too!

[keithl]

Thanks guys. I kinda thought it was like any other animal patterns and dictated by shortening of the days and changes in weather.

I thought that’s what they did was to ban bow fishing at night in the Biloxi Marsh. Did I misunderstand the article?

Good job!!

Good job Josh! Making memories!

I’ve been wanting to fish the light sin these areas after reading one of your reports on that very subject. We used to fish the lights around the docks in Venice off of grand pass and around the wagon wheel. We always did well at night. They’ll probably get better when the trout start moving back in a little latter in August. Thanks for the tips!

you can email me direct [email protected]

Yes it’s available. It’s a bad ass cooler but you need a big boat to carry it! I used it for snapper and grouper.

[keithl]

These are the guys that took on Yeti and said we can do it better and cheaper.

I truly appreciate the feedback guys! I kinda thought the red fish would be pretty scarce with the pressure they see but it’s good to know that I did learn a few things in Red Fish school and I can find ponds and safe routes. Thank you for the course Devin, I’m almost done but have referred back to it many times while planning. Thank you guys I appreciate everyone’s intel it’s worth a ton!!

This is good intel. I’ve been doing the pop totally wrong which is probably the demise of any success at all I’ve had with this method, see my neophyte reports not knowing how to properly work the jig. When you see you, Devin, or Chas pop the rod two or three times respectively you then wait until you feel the bait hit the bottom again, then pop again, correct?

[keithl]

Ah ok. When I read things like this I automatically assume people are fishing in LA, sorry. If you go to the short rigs this works well.
