New Spotted Seatrout Regs for NC

New regulations for spotted seatrout will go into effect Nov. 30 for recreational and commercial fishermen in North Carolina coastal waters.

The recreational bag limit for spotted seatrout will decrease from 10 fish to six fish per person per day. No more than two of the six fish may be greater than 24 inches in length. The current 14-inch minimum size limit will remain in effect.

Lack of conservation has caused a significant reduction of this species. Do your part. If your catch is undersized, put it back. But release it carefully so it will survive. 

This resource are too valuable to waste!!
