Slot reds have also been very, very plentiful. I still think they should leave them all closed another year or two. If just a few years had this big of an impact, they should be in great shape in another year or two. There's always snapper and other goodies to eat.
I just hope I’ll be over there catching them again next year. After coming over 6 years on the bounce suddenly stopping coming whilst we’re in the current predicament has just further made me realise how much I love the fishing in your part of the world 😍
Back on Thanksgiving 2020, I honestly think we caught 50 trout between 15-22 inches. We were looking for other species but couldn't get away from trout. Similar to what others have stated, trout every few casts. I was fishing with my father, we doubled up half the time. I've never seen trout so loaded up. Had we been able to keep a few, we probably would have grabbed 4 and went home, leaving the 46 trout alone.
I don't think regs work out the way FWC believes they do.

I would be fine with making the red slot tighter as well. 17 to 23 (or something like that).
Maybe it is where I fish and the lures I use, but I'm stunned trout is still closed. I find them absolutely everywhere.

I would vote for 3 per day over 16" but only 1 over 19".
