S.T.A.R. Tournament Wraps Up 13th Year
Members and friends of the CCA gathered to celebrate the
most successful tournament year at the 13th annual CCA Louisiana/Mercury Outboards/CITGO S.T.A.R. Awards Banquet held
October 18th.
The S.T.A.R. (Statewide Tournament and Anglers’ Rodeo)
began Memorial Day Weekend and lasted through Labor Day.
More than $500,000 in prizes were offered including: 25 boat,
motor and trailer packages and an array of saltwater fishing
tackle.
Hundreds weathered the balmy mid-October conditions at
Phil Witter’s Live Oak Arabians in Baton Rouge to enjoy live
and silent auctions as well as a host of raffles for fishing tackle
and other prizes with proceeds going to benefit CCA Louisiana’s
mission to protect, preserve and rebuild coastal recreational
fishing.

Executive Director Message
2007 CCA Louisiana
Board of Directors
from Executive Director/CEO David Cresson
It would take a real dyed-in-the-wool pessimist to
not crack a smile when he looks at what’s ahead for
CCA Louisiana. The beginning of this holiday season
presents a good opportunity to count our blessings.
Bobby Jindal, who has a great understanding of and
track record on marine conservation issues, becomes
Louisiana’s governor in January 2008. As some of
you may recall, CCA Louisiana named Congressman
Jindal our Conservationist of the Year at our annual
State Convention in February 2006. In accepting the
award, Jindal said: “America is learning what CCA has
been saying for years: Unless we pay attention to our
great coastal resources, they will be lost.”
The governor-elect further backed up his support
of marine conservation when he appointed CCA Louisiana Chairman Jack Lawton to head his transition
committee on wildlife and fisheries. One of the panel’s
chores will be to recommend nominees to become secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries—a key appointment for conservationists.
This state agency includes a range of departments that
impact marine conservation. Included among those is
the Enforcement Division, whose officers enforce this
state’s hunting and fishing regulations.
We also anticipate that a majority of the members
of the Louisiana Legislature will have an appreciation for marine conservation issues. Thanks in part to
the hard work of CCA members, the Legislature and
LDWF have made great advances in their support for
conservation. Hardly a legislative session has gone by
that CCA Louisiana hasn’t had to beat back bills that
would have affected the hard-fought advances that
we’ve made over the years.
You’ve seen our article in this issue of On-the-Line
about President Bush signing an executive order establishing gamefish status for red drum and striped
bass in federal waters. The order is a landmark victory
for recreational anglers who have fought for decades
to restore and conserve two of the most coveted sport
fish in America. Testimony to CCA’s involvement in
this issue is that a strong delegation of CCA officers—
including a group from Louisiana—was invited to attend the ceremony at which President Bush signed the
executive order. This is an indication of the esteem in
which CCA is held at all levels of government.
Closer to home, your CCA Louisiana is booming.
Membership is strong and participation in S.T.A.R.
and chapter banquets are up considerably. I’m especially pleased at the strong interest that young anglers
are displaying in our organization. The 2007 S.T.A.R.
registered an increase of 20 participants in the New
Tide youth division. This is especially important in
that the last few years have seen gradual declines in

the number of Americans participating in hunting and
fishing activities.
Studies indicate that the No. 1 factor in determining
if a person takes up hunting and/or fishing as a sport
is if his or her mother or father participated in such
activities. Keeping participation in hunting and fishing up is important in many ways. For example, most
state agencies that oversee hunting and fishing activities depend heavily on revenues generated from licenses
to operate.
On a personal note, since becoming executive director
and CEO of CCA Louisiana in October, I have had the
opportunity to visit most of our local chapters. Without
exception, I’ve been most impressed by the leadership
and enthusiasm of everyone involved in the chapters.
CCA is a grassroots organization that depends heavily
on the work and leadership of our chapters. You are the
backbone of CCA. Thank you for everything you do to
make CCA Louisiana such a great association.
on recovering red
drum 30 years ago in
Texas, we never imagined an event like this
would ever be possible. We owe a debt of
gratitude to the President for recognizing
the high value placed
on these resources by
the citizens of this
country.”
U.S. Presidents have issued executive orders since 1789,
usually to help direct the operation of executive officers.
The Executive Order signed by President Bush instructs
the Secretary of Commerce to put regulations in place establishing gamefish status for red drum and striped bass
in federal waters, and encourages the states to take similar
actions in state waters.
“From the darkest days of overfishing in the late 1970s
and early ‘80s, hundreds of thousands of people have
worked tirelessly to conserve these resources,” said David
Cummins, president of CCA America. “The President has
delivered the only reward that mattered to any of them – a
better future for the resources they cherish.”

AROUND THE STATE
Show your
CCA pride with
a special
license plate
Whether you drive a rusty, old pickup
truck or a sleek sports car, you and your
vehicle will stand out with a special CCA
Louisiana license plate.
The special plates bearing our signature
redfish will let everybody know that you
support marine conservation. The official
CCA Louisiana plates were big sellers until litigation forced the state to discontinue sales of all custom license plates. The
litigation has been settled and the official
CCA Louisiana license plates can be obtained from the Office of Motor Vehicles.
You don’t have to wait until you buy
a new vehicle to order the special plates.
You can request an official CCA Louisiana
license plate for your present vehicle. The
additional fee the state charges for the
special CCA plate goes to the Enforcement
Division of the Louisiana Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries. You can support
LDWF and show your own support for
marine conservation by placing one of
these official plates on your vehicle.

2007 S.T.A.R.
CCA Tournament Director Sam Barbera III was pleased
with the turnout, capping off a great year for S.T.A.R.
“Our memberships in S.T.A.R. were up considerably this
year, our best yet,” Barbera said. “Our members are the
best. I can’t wait until next year.”
S.T.A.R. is divided into 10 prize-winning categories.
Boat rigs are awarded to registered anglers who catch the
heaviest fish of the following species: speckled trout, mangrove snapper, lemonfish, black drum, and flounder. The
Speckled Trout Division is divided into east, central and
west competitions with six boats awarded in the speckled
trout competition. The Flounder Division is divided into
east and west competitions, with two boats awarded in the
competition. Winners received boats manufactured by Triton, Bay Stealth, Nautic Star, and Champion all powered
by Mercury Outboard motors.
The Tagged Redfish Division is S.T.A.R’s signature competition. Fifty tagged redfish are released across the coastal
waters in some of Louisiana’s most popular fishing spots.
There were three tagged redfish caught this year, however,
none of those anglers had registered for S.T.A.R..
David “T-Coon” Billeaud
of Broussard, took home
the overall prize in the Early
Times Speckled Trout Division with a 7.92-pound yellowmouth that was weighed
at Dago’s Mobil in Lydia,
at the end of June. T-Coon
is now the proud owner of a
220 Bay Champ powered by
a 175-horsepower Mercury
OptiMax.
S.T.A.R. Chairman Snoop Roth
S.T.A.R. also features
stands with David “T-Coon” Billea children’s competition
aud at his prize-winning Champion.
named the Academy Sports
and Outdoors New Tide Division. Four fully-rigged Alumacraft boats with Mercury Outboards were awarded to
fortunate youth anglers who simply weighed in a 14-inch
or longer speckled trout or flounder.
Trace Day, the New Tide Flounder champion for the East
division, was surprised to hear he was winner of one of the
Alumacraft boats. Day, whose parents wanted his winning to be a surprise, was excited when told the momentus
news.
“Capt. Sam asked me if I liked the boat and I said ‘yes’”,
Day said. “Then he told me it was mine!”

a $2,500 tackle package
for his 92.95 lb. Amberjack that he weighed in at Chris Moran’s Belle Pass Marina.
Barbera said he is already planning next year’s S.T.A.R.
that is slated to begin next Memorial Day Weekend and
run through Labor Day.
“Every year we improve the S.T.A.R. and make it better to keep rewarding those who continue to support
us,” he said. “Next
year will be no exception and will
be the most important S.T.A.R.
we’ve ever had.
We feel like we can
give fishermen that extra push to get on the water if we put
on the best event possible.”
