The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced that the portion of state outside waters between Mound Point on Marsh Island and Freshwater Bayou Canal will reopen to shrimping at 6:00 a.m. on April 15, 2024.
Once open, the season will remain open until recreational landings approach or reach Louisiana’s annual private recreational allocation of 934,587 pounds.
The purpose of the Equipment Modernization Grant is to increase the profitability, sustainability, and adaptability of Louisiana’s commercial fishermen, vessel owners, seafood docks, processors and charter captains in the saltwater fishing industry. Eligible applicants may receive up to $30,000 for reimbursement and purchase of updated and modern equipment to improve their long-term recovery and resiliency.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is continuing their spring Fishing Course Series with a full schedule of courses in different locations across the state, including Houma.
