re: Louisiana trout V.S. Texas trout

I've ready a few articles about different fisheries that state that a given fishery has a particular amount of biomass that it can sustain. If you reduce the number of fish taken from a given fishery, then the average sized fish goes down because there is less forage to go around. Some places are just set up to grow bigger fish.
The places in Louisiana that have bigger trout are areas that have access to deeper waters. Much of our marshes do not get that deep. I cannot speak for the Texas fisheries.

Upper Texas coast- Deeper bays. We still have a 10 fish limit. Inland side of bays is estuary with mix of back lakes, bayous, mud bottom, sand bottom on gulf boundary, and oysters. In Galveston we have 1000's of acres of oyster reefs
I have a 26"er to my name, but catch a ton of 14"ers. I wish the size limit was 14".
Most big fish are caught wading shorelines and flats, reefs, and islands. The big ones don't like the boats.
South of Sargent (North East Matagorda Bay)- typically shallower grass and sand flats and have gone to a 5 fish limit. I fish the West Matagorda/Port O'Connor area from time to time. For STAR tourney they still pull out 32"ers down there.
In Texas the talk is "Keep 5" and ban croakers. I wouldn't care either way, but don't think its a good idea to tell people how to fish.
