Florida Bonefish to Get Permanent Protection

Thanks to the efforts of Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, guides, and anglers, the long-standing rule that allowed a limited harvest of bonefish is about to be abolished, reports Kevin Wadlow in the Keynoter

.
“As proposed, anglers would be allowed to catch bonefish and briefly remove them from the water for a photograph

. Flats fishing tournaments officially sanctioned by the state would allow competing anglers to bring a bonefish in a boat’s live well to a weigh station before a live release.”
