They are in a debate with the federal government over the boundry for state waters. Louisiana says state waters go out to 9 miles and the feds say 3 miles. The fish and game officers say it is nine miles and will not mess with recreational fisherman. The coast guard does not board boats like in New Jersey looking for stripers. Red Snapper is open in state waters but closed in federal waters. The limit on speckled trout is 25. Red Fish is five with one over 28". Liberal to say the least but a healthy fishery and a darn good economy. What has Christie done for you lately or ever for that matter?
