The red fish are really about to take it on the chin.
For the record i am ok with the limit decrease, I just think their slot of choice isn’t smart.

And yes, this should be state wide.Last edited by ram04; 01-28-2022, 09:09 AM.

I read somewhere that the TP&W team that takes the survey from you at the boat ramps said something like on average there is just over 1 trout caught per boat that is caught on average. I need to find the article I read on this data and post it. It does make me wonder why there are limits at all.
It will be hard to pay a guide $650 plus tip, or even hook up the boat to the truck and make a trip for three trout from 17 to 23 inches.
I do feel like the floods from the hurricanes and over oystering is not helping the habitat.

I'm sure glad that TX and LA have a reciprocal agreement with fishing licenses for us GOF's! Otherwise, there'd be no need for me to buy that stupid "super-combo" because the fishin' part of it as far as I'm concerned is useless as tits on a boar hog. I love to fish, and there was a long period in my life where I fished 150+ days a year, mostly in saltwater and mostly wading. I like trout (and reds) and I like to EAT TROUT. Now I go maybe 2-3 times a year... this year only went once and took my grandsons out with Capt. Glenn... we had a blast. It's just not fun anymore to me when the most important piece of gear in the boat is a **** ruler!!

Originally posted by ram04 View PostOur fishery is more to do with flooding since Harvey and fresh water inflows during the past few springs. We fish a lot too and the only part of Galveston that i hear is doing ok (and OK is pushing it)is West Galveston Bay which I don't frequent. East Bay and Trinity Bay as well as Sabine has been terrible. There is small pods of fish scattered around you can catch (those fish are mostly babies) and have a few good days but its no where near normal.

I'm a guy that gets to fish at the coast 1 or maybe 2 times a year and I love to eat trout.
It's not really worth for me anymore, especially to hire a guide.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Who knows.. Time will tell but 5 or 10 trout limits will never be back if I'm a betting man. It's a small brush stroke in the big picture concerning TPWD.. What should concern evryone as outdoorsman in this state is that TPWD is being slowly taken over by the left wing thinkers.. The future could be ugly..
