Hello Everyone,

I did a little reading today and WOW.. Surprising... I Now have bandits port and starboard.. LOL Can afford the fancy electric reels... Many Commercial friends of mine are just dealing with it and staying true with the law.. <SNAPPER GROUPER>

The snook and bones are always fun to play with on light tackle close to sundown.. It is always nice for the kids to get a keeper during season Its all they talk about when fishing comes up with guests.. Just shocked when Phil local FWC Officer told me...

Lately up my way Im sure all the local guys on here have had the same problem... You cant get away from the undersize grouper and snapper.. The Vermillion off of lake worth in the shallow have been as bad as the CHUBS....

Will get in touch Ryan.. Have a good week to all... STay warm Mr. Ron Brooks.

Ryanandrenee-
I think the same rules apply to pinfish and catfish as well. Only dehookers are not permitted on catfish - they must be released by hand only...

So it appears that the only legal fish now are grunions, which must be caught by hand only during a high tide of a full moon, and bonnet-head sharks, which must be caught with your teeth, and may be kept only on every third left Friday before 4:30 a.m.

Have they outlawed underwater hunting of bears yet?

If it get's too bad, we'll need to have a CSC gathering up here and go fishing! Wouldn't the sight of a CSC convoy coming up 95 turn some heads!

Just got off the phone with my attorney brother - and I am now reminded. We can still bottom fish for "bottom feeders"...

There were reports of massive fish kills from the cold snap...

"Onshore" is a good guy and tells it like it is.

I'm 100% in favor of a snook closure in my area after what I saw in Pine Island Sound and lower Charlotte Harbor. I will even go as far as no target. Tarpon on the other hand are highly migratory and the overall population shouldn't have been hurt much. Some of the "river residents" were killed though. Time will tell.

Wow how cold did the water get down there?

Gulf was 47 for a couple days. Inshore was even lower. Mid 50's is the coldest I've ever seen the Gulf.
