@Devin , along that same line of thought…do you think it’s possible we’ll start seeing 6-7lb+ trout in the pontchartrain estuary now that the freshening has been over for a few years? No doubt that I’ve caught more flounder/channel mullet/spanish over the past couple of years. I was discussing this with my buddy last week…is it possible that the heydays of the lake could come back and we’ll start seeing those big trout again?
Certainly, there are other factors at play such as pressure, harvest, etc. I’m hopeful that with the increased awareness of releasing 20″ trout / size and creel limit changes / higher salinity, we’ll start seeing them. I’d much rather catch an 8lb trout in my back yard than have to drive to Texas or Florida.
