So currently you can keep 3 trout a day between 15-20 inches and 1 tagged over 30. Caught 2 keepers a 18 and 19 inch trout and one 22 inch. Almost make a grown man cry putting back a 22in trout.
That is one huge sand trout! You probably know this, but the trout regs are strictly for specks. IIRC sand trout are gloves off.

Oh wow, lived on Surfside Beach for a while. Nostalgic for me, Old Garcia reel and popping rod for redfish.
Great time for your kids.

Ended up with just under 11lb of snapper (not including the whopper my boy caught that I cooked the day after, and one med/small one i kept specifically to fry it whole in my wok) 5lb+ of amberjack, 11oz of speckled trout ( that was only 1 fish ate the other last night), and 5lb of sand trout and gafftop catfish.
After getting unpacked and settled in I made a box of rice a roni rice pilaf and cooked the last two of the speckled trout fillets for a quick dinner for the wife and I. The kids are still trying to work there way through their Buc-ee's stash so no dinner need for them
