From Tallahassee Democrat fishing report by Jerry Gerardi;
Jason Callaghan braved the north winds to catch some trout over 20 inches, with a Tye Smith rig. It consists of a 5/0 offset hook and a 5.5-inch Glow DOA Jerkbait. Cast it out and twitch it back to the boat. Liam Callaghan used that technique and caught trout up to 25 inches. All were released.

Also from the paper worthy of noting:
A new fishing report airs every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning on WTWC-TV NBC 40 at 6:24 a.m. Hosted by Captain J.R. Mundinger, the NBC Fishing Report covers the Big Bend area with information on what's biting and where.
FWC meeting set for Feb. 17-18 in Apalachicola
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will convene its next meeting at the Franklin County Courthouse in Apalachicola Feb. 17-18. The meeting will come to order at 8:30 a.m. both days, with numerous high-profile issues dominating the agenda. Local fishermen and hunters will find their sports represented.
Wednesday's agenda includes final action on proposals to revamp deer hunting zones and dates to align them with the rut — the period when hunters have the highest success rate; final approval of hunting and fishing regulations on public lands and creating a special two-day youth turkey hunt for supervised children under age 16; an update on the fox or coyote enclosure permit process; consider proposed rules to clarify regulation of nuisance wildlife and nonnative wildlife; hear a staff progress report and legislative updates on reptiles of concern, and updates on a series of captive wildlife draft rules regarding hobbyists, Critical Incident/Disaster plans, and required labeling of all wildlife shipments.
Thursday's agenda will include discussion of red snapper management in Gulf and Atlantic waters; final public hearing on rules prohibiting the taking of lemon sharks, and establishing youth conservation centers around the state to offer children opportunities to connect with hunting, fishing, and other outdoor-related activities.
In addition, Commissioners will consider a proposed draft rule that would impact all species of bonefish found in Florida and adjacent federal waters.
The FWC will also consider a proposed draft rule that would apply Florida's weakfish management rules only in state waters of Nassau and Duval counties north of the Buckman Bridge on the St. Johns River, adding all weakfish-like fish to the rules, reduce the daily recreational limit from four fish to one, and establish a commercial weakfish harvest limit.
Also up for discussion will be commercial ballyhoo rules and extending a moratorium on issuing commercial diving permits for spiny lobster for another 5 years.
