I'm gonna up my personal quota this "year" from 25 bullreds kept to 100...Obama killed my grocery list...Any opposers?

Death From Above

12" reds, specks and snappereat much better than the bigger ones. I don't keep them anymore, but I would nevercriticize orturn in someone who does.

Also, IMO recreation minimum size and bag limits have nothing to dowith the numbers and quality of fish we have now. Banning commercial gill nets and the redfish purse net operations is what saved us. Now if we could just get rid of the shrimpers. I don't mind eating Viet Cong and Chinese shrimp.

Honestly, I am not calling in poaching anymore. Why? Frankly, I end up wasting all night on the phone only to have the people leave with wayyyy over limit on 40" redfish and FWC to say they will be there in about 4 hours. I have called every FWC, PPD, SR Sheriff, every ECSD station south of Cantonment, and FHP (depending on jurisdiction of where I am, including from shore or boat) all on numerois occassions and not ONCE has a unit responded within 4 hours (actually, in 10+ calls I have only seen one responseand that around the 4 hour mark). The only time I see FWC is when they check my fish and confirm that I have legal fish. Apparently, they are too busy to respond to calls, so I am not punishing myself by wasting evenings of fishing on hold with them! :banghead
