yeah i believe they are actually directly connected to the fresh water river/lake trouts. here in the gulf there are 2 species of sea trout silver and speckeled. The speckled is most prized by anglers that bigger one is a rare find she was 23 inches. you are allowed to keep 1 20 inch or over. I remember once catching a rainbow trout in NC it was an awesome fish to catch, much better looking fish in the fresh water version LOL.[/quot
Not trying to be an asshole but I always thought sea trout were not related to true trout, so I googled it and came up with this:
spotted sea trout -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia
OK..so I am an asshole but also a fishing fool and I love Florida.
Only been there four times but caught great fish. I go to a little resort in Marathon, half mile from Seven Mile Bridge. Get an apartment for two and a 20' boat for seven days for about $1500. Best deal ever! In fact since I started reading this thread today I e-mailed them for room availability.
FLORIDA! FUCK YEAH!
We don't even have a salmon season this year in NCal, seems to be a serious shortage.
I'd move to Fl if it wasn't for those baaad pot laws. Hell....I may move there anyway. Man I love fishing!
