I thought it was illegal to target sea trout during the close season. Even in saltwater.
As far as I know you are still required by Law to have the State Licence when targeting them (even if Sea Angling). I would go as far as to suggest using Circle hooks if targeting them so as to give them a greater % chance of survival on their return.
Then again maybe they were just Brown trout washed down by the recent floods
Save our Sea Trout and Close the Salmon Farms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
