ACROSS ACADIANA
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is conducting a statewide Black Bass Angler Survey to gather information from fishing enthusiasts across Acadiana and beyond.
The survey aims to collect data on angler experiences, preferences, and opinions regarding management of the state's black bass species. Officials say the input will help shape Louisiana's first-ever stakeholder-driven Black Bass Management Plan, a 10-year plan designed to guide future management and enhancement of bass fishing opportunities across the state.
