Is it over fishing or too much competition, it's hard to say. There seems to be no shortage of 13" trout, but rarely anything over 18".
IMO ... Smaller trout are faster and get to bait quicker and you have millions of them ... Bigger trout move offshore or beaches for easy food access instead of fighting lighting fast schoolies
