Lowering the limit on specks put more pressure on the younger mullet. Perhaps not enough young of the year have been surviving to fall and winter. If LDWF released their trawl survey data, it could be determined with more confidence whether the issue is with production of small age zero mullet or survival to the fall and winter.

Odds are greater menhaden numbers will reduce predation pressure on the mullet.
