Spotted seatrout

No person shall harvest any individual fish less than the minimum size limit.

On August 1, speckled trout (spotted seatrout) moved to a slot limit. Anglers may now keep trout that measure between 15 and 22 inches total length with an allowance for one fish over 22 inches total length. The bag limit was reduced to six speckled trout per person per day.
