Dont forget the Cuda and the new rule that went in on Nov. 1
Collier, Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin counties ONLY:
2 fish per person
6 fish per vessel
Also, FWC 2 day meeting in St. Pete ended today discussing creating a size limit.
.68B-60.003 Size Limits (NEW) – The proposed final rule would create a size limit of no less than 15 inches and no more than 36 inches fork length for barracuda harvested from Collier, Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin counties. The proposed final rule would also allow for the harvest of one barracuda over 36 inches per vessel in these counties.
