Yep, bottom fishing banned in the Atlantic off northern Fl and Ga from 98' and out. And starting the first of January in the gulf, all recreational grouper fishing will be banned for at least 6 months if not longer. We are not aloud to even think about keeping a snook right now on the Gulf side until the end of 2011(but the Atlantic side should reopen early 2011). Aint the fishing regs great, just like a gasoline enema with a match as a light. I'm sure glad I got my boat sold last month before the fishing closure was finalized.

I sent FWC e-mail when they closed Red Snapper harvest to complain about the commercial take. 3 weeks later I got ear wash about how the FWC was aligning themselves with the Federal bunch. Now this, they have officially killed my desire to fish offshore at this point. Boat for sale - Owner plans on taking a beating. Ferm you got out just in time..

For those who are still paying attention to the large area bottom closure, there is good news. The SAFMC delayed implementation of the closure for another 180 days beginning on Dec 4. They are awaiting the findings of new data which appears to be more consistent with what fisherman have been reporting regarding the red snapper stocks. Until further notice, red snapper is still closed to all harvest. Still not much motivation to fish between 1/1 and 5/1, when grouper is closed, though.
