Speckled trout are way tougher than people think. There was a great mulkti-year study that showed as long as there was no gill damage, the fish survived, if they had gill damage they died. They took them out of the water and wiped off all the slime with a towel and kept them in a live well for hours and they still survived. Everyone treats them like delicate flowers but they are tough.
Not sure if they took into account survival due to damage to the mouth either due to horsing them in or for instance too forcefully trying to remove the hook especially trebles. Their mouths are very easily damaged and may affect their ability to feed effectively.
@@drunvalo these where all fish caught on hook and line during tournaments
Yes very true, I saw the same study
It's my understanding that TP&W made the new spec size limits after several years of under abundance.
Source?
Mark, Thank you for always reminding our Anglers to pick up after themselves and to keep our coast clean. It's so important to preserve nature for our future generations.
Absolutely!
I agree with you 100 percent, whoever came up with this slot for specks has never fished for specs. This slot limit is a prime example of what happens when feel good bureaucracy takes the place of common sense fishery management. Hate to see it here in Texas.
Sorry, I strongly disagree and so does the studies.
@@ETuss713the studies are always inaccurate
@@ETuss713 I'm sure those studies show those 22 inch trout bounced off the jetties or dropped in a boat swim away just fine.
People don’t know what the motive was behind the slot change. Fish from 20-30 inches are still considered breeders. Once they are over 30 they don’t breed
Too many people leave their trash behind after fishing. I appreciate you reminding everyone to pick up after themselves. I always try to pick up a few more pieces before I leave. Enjoyed the video. Tight lines!
Great video, the rig and thin wire hook is a great tip! Hope to see you guys out there one day.
For sure!
Thanks for the jetty cork rig info! Although I mostly fish from my kayak, I do fish some jetties from the yak and that might be a good option.
Job well done guys. Nice trouts. 👍
Great to see you and Christian out there that day. Being just less than 10 feet away from you, i'm gonna assume that it was my Slip cork rigging that had me skunked that day lol. I will go back to that rig yall used that day the next time. Great video 😁
Nice specks guys always appreciate the footage- tight lines- PuraSal Angler 🙌🏻
Thanks! 👍
Nice video, Mark, those were all very nice keepers! Things are picking up! Take care and be safe!
It’s been very nice with stable weather. Thanks for the support Christine. 🙏
First 5 minutes are gold. Thanks for the education.
You bet!
Blessings my Friend Good one
Thank you 🙏
As it was explained by a Texas A&M Galveston Marine Biology professor, even with losses it's just something that has to be done. Think about it, say 50% mortality rate of returned fish. Now if 50% were retained and the 50% returned died...the mortality rate just jumped to 75% for +20" fish. Cheers 🤠
You mean the professor who didn’t explain why at all when questioned … 😂 and went on to say it was not necessarily based on populations in the gulf 😂😂😂😂yeah they borrowed one of those climate hacks
That biologist got offended when asked real questions.. he was another paid actor to put the fear in nothing.. just saying
Great vid brother
Thanks brother 🤙
I released a 26 1/2 trout during the cold winter months that I caught in Galveston’s West Bay in a highly pressured fishing area. I find it hard to believe that fish had not been caught several times at least in its life.
awesome fishing ! like your videos ! I went in the bay Friday and lost a good fat trout then after all the drift fishing damn boat motor heated up but as soon as it cooled we got back.
Glad it all worked out.
Thanks for explaining your rig. New here.
Welcome!
I would say that the regulations for trout are more directed at guides who take clients out. They catch a lot of fish and can put a huge dent in the big trout population.
👍👍👍👍👍another great 🎣video.
Thanks 👍
Nice trout
Too bad I only catch one keeper yesterday. Thank you for the fish. 😊
Any time!
The new limit sucks. Three stinking fish
Theyll survive. If we want to keep fishing for trout and pass it on to the next generation, the new limits were a smart move.
AWESOME
Thank you! Cheers!
All in all a good day on the big water!!
They have a better chance of surviving when releasing them than in the cooler
Alright gonna hit the jetties, hopefully everybody else doesn't get the same idea...
I totally agree. As usual though. The rules are made by non-actual participant people in what they are making rules for. Plus the worst part of that is people not following rules that makes the rule makers make bad decisions trying to counter that. These new rules will probably kill a goodly portion of the fish they are trying to save.
Trout are more resilient than one may think. Many test have been run that prove it. So that is no issue. Obviously you will always have some that take it deep or some odd circumstance but you can’t make laws around the outcasts
i always wish to live life the way you do .
that is my only wish of life .
Jimmy did good
GM MDLR looking forward to seeing this content..
🤙
Quick question: are you left handed? I notice you use your left hand as your power hand and your right hand to reel.
I’m not. I just prefer to use my right hand.
Hello Mark we still here❤❤
Doesn't this rig get tangled up on itself all the time?
What state is this?
TX
What time do you usually go out to jetties
What’s the fishing app you used? 0:17
What day was this
I voted against changing this limit, but it feels like we don't have any representation with CCA.
Really. Did you go to any of the scoping meetings? Did you partake in any other surveys rather than the last one?
I went to many, and very few people against the new regs were there. The new regs are a positive. The trout population has been decimated. The regs are long overdue.
@rainbosprinkles6548 CCA wants more money for the proper license to catch and keep less fish. How about they continue nursery efforts and work on improving habitats. It costs a lot to go fishing, and not everyone has time to go whenever they want.
@@brogers114ablethe cca doesnt sell fishing licenses. The TPWD does. The CCA does a ton of conservation and educational work.
Keeping 3 or 5 fish will make zero difference in yours or anyone elses food supply. Trout numbers have been on a steady decline. Over 2.1 million licenses were issued last year. Boats are capable of reaching anywhere in the bay system now. Every year more trout are being kept while oyster reefs are being depleted.
It is an extremely narrow sighted, uninformed and selfish argument against the new regulations.
@rainbosprinkles6548, habitat conservation, hatcheries, and good weather will do more for the trout population than reducing limits and slot size. Of course, the meetings have a majority of people like you voting for smaller slot size and bag limits. The minority opinions are always the loudest and believe they're the most important. You don't have control over anything else going on in your life.
@@brogers114able as I've said, those against it only have an emotional argument. Can you make a logical argument t and then support it or is just about feelings?
Point of going to meetings and being part of the process is to hear the points, consider the information, then make a logical conclusion.
Those complaining now remind me of a woman. Ask her what she wants to eat, she doesn't care or say anything, then when a man makes the decision, the woman complains. That's you, right now.
correct they shoulda left it like it was. 1.) illegally changing regs on us who all bought licenses in aug. 2023 to catch a 5 fish limit and then them changing while our licenses are still in effect? illegal. But alas it appears no lawyer smart enough is challenging it. 2.) fish populations have recovered from the 21 freeze and TPWD’s own surveys showed populations increasing and not decreasing.
damn early upload lol
😂🤙
I think any trout over 30 should be released they need to change it
So few over 30 are being caught. If anyone is keeping a fish over 30, they are clueless. I understand the allowing 1 over slot to give those who are complaining about the new slot some something.
They dont care about the fish, they just want your money.
Government over reach. The regulations aren't just killing fish. Just saying
Your wing span is 4ft?!? lol
😂
New trout slot is good , but people who are shady already are probably gonna poach regardless of any size limit only way will be other honest law abiding anglers are gonna need to take pics or videos of perpetrators and call the Gamewarden hotline
Can I get my wheelchair that far down the jetty
I’m going to say no because there’s several 12” drops without ramps.
@@MDLRFishing how far down is the first drop
@@markseawright2418 not sure but you can measure the distance using google maps. There’s a distinct difference in the cement top and the asphalt.
I voted against the trout rule and the bs tag system. Trout numbers aren’t down enough by anglers to move the needle. Bull redfish numbers are soaring, dolphin populations are soaring and habitat is disappearing at an alarming rate. Also, fertilizer runoff seems to be a sterilization agent to trout.
loss of habitat is what is hurting them. should build more reefs and plant more sea grass.
Politicans making rules/laws to games/sports they dont play. Make America Great Again, get involved in your local community. Your rationale is valid and will be supported.
Where 8in the hell did you that learn that setup never seem so much extra line and not a leader above the cork..🤔🤨
Observation of the locals who are always catching when no one else is.
@MDLRFishing Hey thx.for answering back.I'm assuming that's around Surfside jetties that where u post alot when u bank fish..
