With the brutal weather what’s you guys opinion on some speckled trout not making it?
Just received the response from DNR below. They should have some info in the near future:
To date, Coastal Resources has not had anyone on the water assessing marine organisms. We have received only one report thus far regarding cold stunned or dead fish. Temperatures are near critical levels for survival of shrimp and spotted sea trout and we are watching them daily. We are planning to begin our monthly trawl survey assessment this week and should have more information at that point.
Thank you for your interest.
Jimmy,
Don't doubt that for a minute, but some info regarding on the water observations would be interesting versus nothing at this point.
The CRD/DNR is requesting fishermen voluntarily release all sea trout in order to maximize the future of spawning stock.
I guess the current voluntary slot limit of 14 to 16 inches is good enough for folks.
