This spotted sea trout was caught and released during the 2009 fishing season. I personally caught plenty of these fish. I was not alone either many fishermen did too! However, that doesn’t seem to be the case at this time. So therefore read what I have wrote and then “release them alive so that they can survive!”

Operation ROE! By Fraser Bowen
A coalition of angler-supporter conversation groups, including CCA Georgia, Georgia Wildlife Federation, Satilla Riverkeeper, Georgia Kayak Fishing, Ogeechee RiverKeeper, and Savannah River Keeps is calling on Georgia’s fishermen to ensure the future of one of their favorite catches THE SPOTTED SEA TROUT! Dubbed OPERATION ROE, groups are asking their members and the angling public to voluntarily release spotted sea trout over 18 inches long this spring so that the more larger fish have a chance to participate in the 2010 spawning season. For more information go to www.ccaga.org/ This information came from the Tides Lines newsletter Volume 10 Issue 1 Spring 2010.

Captain Judy says, “In regards to ROE” I am 100% for releasing as many “over 18 inch spotted sea trout as possible!” This act alone by a fishermen proves that conservation is more important than keeping a few fish especially during this time. The way I look at it is this…release today so that you can really catch tomorrow!
Due to the unusually cold-water conditions meaning we did have a real cold winter dropping water temperatures below the norm, we might have had somewhat of a trout kill. There is no denying that something is wrong with the trout. If you have been keeping any sort of fishing records you already know what I am talking about. Our inshore boats normally are in the height of the spotted sea trout catching season. However, at this time this is not happening. The fact of the matter is “not many spotted sea trout have been caught. And the ones that were have been were far and few in between!” I say, “What the heck, lets release as many “over eighteen inch” spotted sea trout that we can!” So therefore for bragging rights about that big trout that you released “Bring only a picture back to the dock! As you know a picture says a thousand words and heck you can even weight it if you would like!
