In case you missed it! Big news to the fishing industry to take effect.
A close eye to the Trout population brought forward this change January 25th in Austin in hopes of increasing numbers after the 2021 freeze.
Spotted sea-trout bag and size limits approved by the commission include:
ADVERTISEMENT
- Three fish daily bag limit per angler
- A minimum size of 15 inches and a maximum size limit of 20 inches
- One oversized trout greater than 30 inches allowed as part of daily bag limit
Commissioners also granted permission to publish a proposal to create a tag system that will allow the take of oversized trout (greater than 30 inches), including one bonus tag per year, for an associated fee. The commission will pursue future public input and consider adoption of the proposed tag system in March.
