As mentioned on our last Flats Nation Sound Bites #18

https://www.flatsnation.com/post/flats-nation-sound-bites-volume-18

From the GA DNR and their past Operation ROE (Release over 18) is a great example of how sizes of Sea Trout harvested from the system, can greatly impact the amount of eggs produced per each spawn.

Sea Trout is Florida's most popular saltwater flats and inshore gamefish, forming the cornerstone of a recreational fishery valued at billions of dollars annually. While its exact economic contribution is difficult to quantify, its significance to the state's fishing industry and economy is undeniable!

Yet in many areas they have dropped both in numbers and sizes from a wide range of causes. We would like the FWC to review, the commercial slot limit harvest of up to 24 inches as a first step in helping them come back stronger.

While the article may be somewhat dated due to recent regulatory changes not covered within, we explore the importance of Sea Trout and share additional ideas on how we can help support their conservation here:

By Owen Plair What makes the winter fishing for redfish so special? There are not many fisheries that have a winter time season, due to migratory fish, cold temps, snow, and ice. One of the many great things about the Lowcountry is that it is a year round fishery for Redfish. When the bright green s...
