The New York Times ran a story today  (by way of The Texas Tribune) about increases in recreational saltwater fishing limits. The article, which is worth reading, specifically addresses the move Parks and Wildlife made last week to impose further restrictions on spotted trout and flounder fishing.

From the article: “In November, during flounders’ spawning season, fishermen can catch only two fish per day. The department is considering lengthening that period of such a low “bag limit,” or maximum allowable catch. In addition, the bag limit for spotted trout may be reduced to 5 from 10 year-round.”
