The limit is five trout per day and only one can be over twenty inches. Here's a pic of my catch from yesterday in Choctowhatchee Bay. All fish caught on top water Mirrolure 7M, black back, orange belly and gold flash sides (7M808). We ain't even gonna talk about the ones that got away, but that's topwater trout fishing. Largest fish was a grunt over 20 with the smallest 16 inches.


Try using the 7M like you would a popping cork. A popping cork with hooks.

Nice catch. That limit is total bullshite by the way. Im glad I can catch trout all day in LA and not really have to worry about which ones to keep over the legal size.

ETA: Is that a G.Loomis greenwater rod I see?

Nice haul. I would never have stopped at 5, but to you for keeping an honest hand.

Nice catch. When I fish in FL, it's tough to only keep 5 trout and only 1 red! But, that being said, I've caught more big trout in FL than LA overall.

BTW, u can't keep trout at all in Feb!

I called to book a inshore trip for the family in Destin last year when we went. The girl that answered the phone asked me where we were from and where I fished......I told her we were from N.O. and i fished primarily out of Venice.

She then informed me of the limit and cautioned that we might not like the trip because of that. I agreed so we blew it off. I know CSB

I knew the limit was 5 trout per person, but I didn't know you could only keep one over 20 inches. Between my dad and me, we probably kept 4 over 20 inches each day
