More Barataria reports! Awesome!
“He must have scared off the trout as that was the last game fish I caught the rest of the day”
He 1,000% did. When they run around in the water drumming as loud as they do, that spooks everything. It’d be like someone running through a restaurant screaming bloody murder. That will clear the place out pretty quick.
“I have a theory there is a new sub-species of trout in the Barataria Basin taking over. They are identical to normal trout in all ways except they are genetically limited to 12 7/8″. I have caught tons of 12-13″ trout this year.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! That’s so funny. Yeah, I hear that 100% lol
It’s annoying, but guess where the 13″+ trout are going? Home in someone’s ice chest.
Notice how before the limit change we had all that 11.9″ speckled trout, now they’re all 12.9″.
On a positive note, that much extra trout get to spawn and make more. I just hope we actually see an increase in numbers and the fishing returns to where it was before The Freshening.
Also, if you read @WestbankJosh reports, he’s not really finding them ganged up in one spot so much as he is putting a limit together by catching a couple here, a couple there, and so on. He’s fishing birds in any number, doing anything at all.
Check out his reports. He’s identified a pattern that’s working, even if it’s something of a grind.
Anyway, great reports, Ryan! I appreciate you taking time to post them. Thank you so much!
