In Atlanta today trying to stop the DNR from over regulating our redfish. If you don't want our limits cut drastically call or email our state elected people. They are mostly not on board with the regulation changes , if we will let them know we don't want this I think it can be stopped. This is urgent do it today.

A couple of the redfish we caught this week. Fish politics are back again. This is about red drum not red snapper. The DNR is back at it again trying to kill our redfish limits. Three years back we went through this and it is back again. The good data and every seasoned fishermen I know are catching and seeing as many redfish as ever. I have been fishing this same area over 50 years and I am catching and seeing more redfish than ever. The last survey by the DNR showed 70 percent of ga. Fishermen wanted the limits left alone but that didn't matter it was still to hell with the taxpayers . What we have now is a self appointed body making laws that affect all of us. We have a federal fisheries board with DNR appointed people, definetly not elected , trying to force new restrictions on us. Of course these boards pay well and always end up with retired DNR and people that totally agree with the DNR people appointing them. I was removed from the state fishery board because I didn't agree with the no keep agenda. I have more experience on ga. Waters than the entire current finfish advisory panel.
At this moment we have a huge sustainable population of redfish in our state waters. Our current limits are working, have worked and would continue working. 5 fish per person with a size limit of 14 to 23 inches. We are protecting all the fish over 23 inches. Everyone I know doesn't want fish over 23 inches for eating purposes. The larger fish are the spawning stock. Once these fish reach 23 inches the chances of survival are much better. We have plenty of big fish ,this is a yearly renewable resource. I have tagged a lot of 12 to 16 inch redfish and the tagging returns were less than 10 percent. Tha argument that we are catching too many small fish gets shot down quick with tagging data alone.
Hang with me a couple more minutes. We have this federal board telling us we need a 14.4 percent catch reduction . Simple math would be a cut from five fish to four. That is 20 percent to most people, not to the DNR. As always give them an inch and they want a mile. Currently they would like to cut the limits to possibly 2 or 3 fish along with a slot limit change and a boat limit between 2 and 9 fish. Totally not needed not wanted. Guide trips in ga count for less than 2 percent of fish caught and they also want to remove the guides limit, absolutely no science to back that up.
A compromise of a 4 or 5 fish limit with a 15 fish boat limit leaving the slot limit at 14 to 23 inches would meet their 14 percent cut. If you want your freedom to keep some fish let your voice be heard. Call or email every elected official you know and tell them we don't want the feds messing up our inshore redfish. PUBLiC HEARING this Thursday in Richmond hill at the city center building in Gregory Park at 6 pm. Please be there and fill out any paperwork you get. We must stop this federal takeover of our waters.
There is no shortage of red drum in ga. Waters. This is going to be another red snapper federal disaster if we don't stop it NOW.
