No just a recreational fisherman. I frequent the Biloxi marsh/ Breton Sound area, but other areas too. Mainly seek trout.


Mr. Deege,
Where do a majority of the large trout (+ 6.5 or 7 pounds) come from each year in this state?

Which state has better trout fishing, Louisiana or Florida? What is your best guess as to why?

My guess is that we have a unique saltwater marsh/estuary system that trout need for eggs/young to survive. They need a certain salinity or no hatch. The diversions destroy that balance.

Its won't be a matter of having to motor a bit further to find trout. There will be significantly less trout.
