I can certainly say that I've seen a decrease in both quality and quantity lately. I'm not a huge saltwater angler, but trout get slammed all year long. Wouldn't be shocking if we were putting a dent in 'em.

There's no way the recreational sector has that great an impact on trout. Nothing will convince me that we do. All of the water and all of the structure we have and the fact that I RARELY put together a whole limit leads me to this conclusion.

Overfishing is a small factor here. The 2010 BP oil spill and corexit really did a number on the trout spawn in 2010/2011. The impact of oil still contaminating the marshlands every day plus the loss of wetlands are the main contributors here. I suspect a limit of between 6-10 per person is coming next year in Eastern Louisiana.

I think they should lower the creel down to 15 per person and no minimal size limit so i can catch a limit

I don't know about all that but after the reopening following the oil spill, there were easy linits
