I did go on line to see how many eggs a trout can spawn; less than 5 lbs. 100,000, over 5lbs could be up to 1000000, about one percent survive to 12 inches, It also said it takes two years for a trout to reach 12 inches, you add environment changes, pressure, boat traffic running across the reefs, it all adds up, I will admit I had to buy a golden rule this year, I have never had to measure a fish before in BL.. I am not sure what is making the changes but something is for sure!
I believe there is a lot more Ship Traffic than usual; I have seen more ships since late last year than I have seen in several years combined. Generally the salinity stays the same in the bottom half of the ship channel, but those big ships churning up the bottom, mixing all of that fresh water with the salt water can’t be good on the fisheries either. Man fixes one problem and creates another; it is just the way it is!
