I know on our LSU study we had a 7 lb trout get tagged and left the jetties to never return. ( could of died , got caught , got ate ) but that could tell us something. And I think all trout that left only one came back.

If large trout have food supply they have no reason to come inland

but the big trout that are caught by rod n reel are in 3-4 feet of water in the in the winter/spring

In big lake 90% of those trout are local trout who lived there whole life in lake .. Nobody can really fish offshore in the winter due to winds and water color

I fished the beach a few years back in April and caught some hogs .. All full of eggs about to spawn...
