Florida Bonefish to Get Permanent Protection

February 27, 2011 By: Marshall Cutchin

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.”
