During its March 28 meeting, Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPW) Commission approved a tag system for harvesting oversized spotted seatrout.
This new tag will allow anglers to harvest one oversized spotted seatrout greater than 28 inches with the purchase of a saltwater fishing license or endorsement. The rule also implements a $3 Bonus Spotted Seatrout Tag and a $3 Exempt Angler Tag (for individuals who, by law, are exempted from license requirements), allowing the retention of one additional oversized spotted seatrout per license year.
Current bag and size limits for spotted seatrout went into effect March 26 across the Texas coast to assist with spotted seatrout recovery after a decline in the population following the February 2021 winter storm. They consist of the following:
Anglers can continue to harvest one trout more than 30 inches per day as part of the daily bag until Sept. 1.
