Folks from The Aquarium of the America's that come over and tag our trout for the CCA Shoot Out have already had 2 tags returned.
fish were released at Calcasieu Point and one was recaptured by Calcasieu Point and the other was recaptured in the ship channel by 4 corners area.
Tagging works, but to work best, since tagged fish are the minority of the stock population, you should write down tag number, measure length and weight of fish, and release back into the water to live another day.
The really cool stories are of the fish that have been recaptured 5 or 6 times and you can track their journey.
