Do we really need to be catching 100 trout a day to call it a successful trip. Those guides might be catching a bunch now but look at the other 99.99% of fishermen in those same waters. They're not catching those numbers today like they did years ago.

I don't know how good Buras area is year round but I see Matt Caire with loads of 3-5lb trout all the time .
I also know that areas farther east have never been known for large trout like grand isle/ cocodrie and parts of Venice
Trout will spawn at least once before reaching legal size of 12inchs . One thing is for sure. They better have solid hard facts before reducing trout limits , because once they go down , they will never come back up.
