The spotted seatrout in our study were not sexed and were all caught between June 9 and June 15 (both in 2011 and 2012). The graph below is based on a much larger data set from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. It shows only a small difference between weights of males and females in spring in Louisiana, and also little difference between spring and fall, with spring fish being slightly heavier at a given length.
