Where does the 15 trout per person start at? Unsure on exactly where that is. Does rollover fall into that location or is that 25 a person?

Pretty sure the line is the Mermantau. So rollover should be 25

Ok, so if I launch at the Mermentau river at the park in Grand Cheniere and fish some of the nearby offshore rigs, can I come in with 15 trout per person or 25??

[speck-addict]

15 is my understanding bc you will be in the river.

[lawagonmaster]

according to the description above the boundary goes to the western shoreline follows the western shoreline south to the gulf then due south to the limit of state waters, I would say that as long as those rigs are east of that described boundary and you stay east of it on the way in till you get into the river you should be ok because the river it self is east of the western shoreline that is the boundary according to their own description

That's what i was thinking, but still a very gray area I must say.

It's extremely clear to me, western shore (excludes the water of the mermentau) and due south from the western shore at the mouth (due south, draw a straight line down and keep 25 anywhere east of the line).

Nothing to misinterpret
