I live & fish in SW La. I hace been fishing flounder now for over 35 years, so I 've seen my share. I worry that the "By-Catch" from butterfly nets in the Oct run to deep water is depleting the resource tremendously. I've talked to shrimpers who use the butterfgly nets in small passes and cuts. According to some, their bycatch of flounder is usually 1000-1500 lbs a night. I've seen the results. I can't hardly buy a flounder bite anymore in Calcasieu Lake. I hope La W&F catches on pretty soon before we lose the flounder altogether.
