Louisiana HCR5 amends Department of Wildlife and Fisheries rules to allow special permits for red drum harvest over 27 inches in certain tournaments.
Louisiana HCR5 amends the Louisiana Administrative Code to allow special permits for the harvest of red drum over 27 inches in certain fishing tournaments. The permits are available for tournaments that have been held regularly for five years or more and have historically included a bull red category. The events must be no longer than four days long, once a year. This change aims to preserve cultural and recreational activities without significantly impacting red drum stock recovery efforts.
