TROUT LIMIT AT 10

The state Division of Marine Fisheries on Monday will reimpose recreational limits for spotted sea trout (speckled trout). Anglers will be allowed to keep 10 fish per day; no limit exists now. The size limit will remain at 12 inches total length.

The spotted sea trout bag limits listed on the North Carolina Recreational Coastal Waters Guide for Sportsfishermen, dated March 1, 1996, will be incorrect.
