Posted: April 9th, 2007, 8:45 pm
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.
