My dealer didn't have the rules booklet so I can't check.
What's the daily bag limit on speckled sea trout?
I heard TPWD went back to 5 fish, 15" minimium... true? No more adusted limits/lengths depending upon where you are fishing?
The online rules list freshwater exceptions but do not show saltwater exceptions that I can find. Anyone know for sure?

Starting on September 1st, the entire state is back to 15" - 25" slot, 5 fish a day, only one can be over 25".

I have been waiting for this to happen. I have not kept but only a few trout since the freeze. I want to start fishing that green water and September 1st looks like a good time to start. Walked down Aransas Bay in Rockport the other day. Water was trout green, bait, and it had hint of a sweet smell :wink:. With tides coming back up and the nice storm we had… we are one mild cold-front away from some awesome fishing. 🤞
