I was in Lake Borgne on the 17th as well. The bite was awesome.

Nice haul.

Thank you all for the information. @Devin, I will never say “Bycatch” again lol!
I never thought about the fishery’s food, just about them killing unwanted fish. Funny how you understand better when someone truly informs you.
I am currently watching the hearing.

I have a question on this. or more of a statement.
Let me start by saying I am all for increasing regulation for the fishery. especially because most of the Menhaden fishing is controlled by companies from other countries, which use the fish to produce oil products.
I am wondering why we fight so hard to push this industry out further, but not the shrimping boats. From my research, menhaden fishing catches around 37 million pounds of non-targeted fish every year. That is out of 1 billion pounds of menhaden caught in 2024 in Louisiana.
Shrimp boats catch approximately 70 to 100 million pounds of shrimp a year in Louisiana. The Bycatch on these boats is 7 pounds for every one pound of shrimp. That is over 490 million pounds of bycatch.
I understand that shrimping is a major industry that drives the economy here. But how do we regulate them?

You need to ask yourself. What does the handler want? lol.

Let me know the next time you head out that way. I think we are planning on the 2nd of May. [email protected]

It was the best day i have had since i starting fishing this area. The only place i caught fish like that was the rock in Grand Isle.

So we got 3 of the 4 bills. Just not the main one HB 855 right?
-
And all the opposition from the West Bank fishing. lol

Are they allowed in Chandeleur sound?

Understood, I like it.

That is where I normally fish. I wanted to try this area. But the east side is definitely better.

Shot me a message when you get out there.

We are going down on Tuesday, and my brother and I will scout for spots on Wednesday. The tournament doesn’t start till Friday.

Yes, my apologies; I definitely forgot the dates.
It is on the 10th and 11th of October. We are fishing out of my 24-foot bay boat.
From what I’ve learned so far.
– I need to look for rigs, rock beds, oyster reefs, and areas with moving water in canal points. Possibly grass beds. Deeper channels.
– should be moving further inland after the span.
I marked some of the regions in the last photo I snipped from GED.
Spots 3, 7, 9, and 10 are rigs.
Spots 5, Queen Bess, and Pelican Point for shell and rock beds.
Spots 2 and Round Lake are good moving water in channels.
