In the areas that I fish, the trout fishing hasn't been bad at all in recent years. That said, I don't get to go near as often as I previously did. I have seen a lot of variances on the numbers of fish caught by locations on the coast. Which side of the coast do you mainly fish?

Last year the trout fishing was good imo although I never caught much size. Numbers were good. Although I prefer to run to the Biloxi Marsh over the islands, if this legislation works and the trout fishing in MS gets really good in the next 2-3 years, I could see myself fishing cat over BM more often to chase bigger trout.
