what a challenge....thanks for the heads up......
I know it's not sac related, but we catch a lot, especially on jigs.
Atchafalaya Spillway bass regulations will change again come Saturday to the same as statewide regulations.
The new creel limit will be 10 per day with no size limit.
After changing from 20-year-long, 14-inch minimum size and a five-bass daily creel limit, the state Wildlife and Fisheries Commission approved a temporary, seven-fish, no minimum-size limit for black bass in June 2013, with a provision to change creel and size limits should there be a biological need to limit catch or minimum fish size.
Continue sampling showed the area could sustain the same catch regulations as other state water bodies, and the “transition” regulations were removed.
The new creel and no-size restrictions also apply to the Lake Verret Basin and the Lake Palourde and Lake Fausse Point-Lake Dauterive complexes.
The restrictive measures were implemented in the wake of August, 1992 Hurricane Andrew that killed an estimated 175 million fish in the Atchafalaya and Verret basins. Included in that estimate were 5 million bass.

When will the 10 fish take place. I know it was lowered to 7 about 2 years ago. This is a first of hearing about going back to 10

Takes effect Saturday, 6/20/15. Makes it easy. Everywhere is limit 10 with no size limit.

Toledo Bend the limit is 8 with a minimum of 14", Caddo may be the same, don't know. I know they are not part of the Atchafalaya Spillway, but thought I'd mention it.

Thanks, T. Trophy lakes are exempt. I guess you gotta know where you're fishing and since I don't stray very far from home, I got nothing to worry about. Only fished TB once and that was 25 years ago. Maybe when I retire????
