The bill enacted by the Louisiana Legislature introduces new regulations regarding the daily take and minimum size limits for black bass and crappie in a specified geographic area. Under the new law, which adds R.S. 56:325(A)(13), individuals fishing in the designated region south of US 190 from the West Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee to the intersection of LA 1 and US 190, and other specified boundaries, are limited to a daily catch of five black bass with a minimum size of twelve inches and twenty-five crappie with a minimum size of eight inches.

This legislation aims to manage and conserve freshwater recreational fish populations by establishing specific limits that align with sustainable fishing practices. The inclusion of these size and quantity restrictions is intended to promote responsible fishing while ensuring the health of fish species in the designated area.
