Trout
ST. LUCIE COUNTY
While on water patrol, Lieutenant Douglas Rogerson was advised by the U.S. Coast Guard
that a vessel they were boarding had spotted seatrout in a live well. The boarding officer
believed that trout season was closed and wanted to verify this with FWC. Lieutenant
Rogerson arrived to observe nine trout in the live well. Several fish were still alive and were
released back into the water. The others were retained as evidence. The subject was cited
for possession of spotted seatrout out of season.
