Proposed FWC rule changes

Post by Jumptrout51 »

FWC is meeting in Tallahassee April 11/12 to discuss among other things this:
Other proposals would establish a zero bag limit for gag, red and black grouper for captains and crew on for-hire vessels in the Gulf and establish a one-fish daily recreational bag limit for snowy grouper within the five-fish aggregate grouper bag limit in the Atlantic. Under the proposed rule, a one-fish daily recreational bag limit will apply for golden tilefish within the five-fish aggregate grouper bag limit in the Atlantic, and the daily recreational bag limit for red porgy in the Atlantic will jump from one fish to three fish per person.
WHOSE FISH IS IT?

I can see the guide rule being a good thing...Don't see much relevance in the snowy ruling or tile fish, being that most come from depth's greater than 500 ft, if you catch one it's eye's are bugged out and there is slim to no chance to release and have it survive....Any fish caught in over 300 ft is going to be hard to regulate IMO

And I didn't see mention to any decrease commercial creel limits again :thumbdown:
