I think a strict limit from Fourchon to the La./Ms. line needs to be instituted right now based on all the scientific evidence that is coming out daily showing the fishery is in trouble. 10 Specks per day with a 1 over 20. Guides aren't allowed to keep trout on a guided trip. Also should institute a limit on White trout and croakers too because their populations have really fallen off since 2010.

I would think commercial shrimp trawlers are to blame for the absence of croaker and white trout.

Can you provide a link for this? I have actually heard the opposite about speckled trout.

i guess i'm the only guy on here that is old enough to remember NO limit, size or number, on specs. we used to load the ice chest with "cigar specs". so did everyone else. 25 fish per person is fine. the only ones that would want to see it reduced are the guides because it makes for a shorter workday for them and easier to say their customers caught their limit.
