I've heard some of them tell me about the unreal numbers of fish they catch and I'd bet many of them don't stop at 25 fish per person.

    I befriended a guy from Michigan several years ago who told me his goal was to take home 2500 fish each winter. Said the most he got was 2200. He fished solo and told me he didn't care about limits. I know he only kept >12" fish (more or less). His health declined about 10 years ago and he quit coming to Florida.

    I also hear there is a black market for specks and that they bring a good price. I have no way of finding out any specific information (just heard rumors) to be able to give to FWC.
    One of the problems and likely the largest.

    They sell specks and brim to the people I work with.
    As far as “rabbits of the fish world “ with enough predators even rabbits have a hard time.

    Chucker, I think the Survey is also an example, part of the proposed Draft. I don't think it is an active link.
    You may want to register with FWC for updates. You can sign up on their web site. Then you will be put on a Email list to receive surveys, red tide status, invasive plant control and the like.

    Regarding the upcoming meetings...I noticed there are none scheduled for north east or north central Florida. I would have thought with the prevalence of Orange, Lochloosa, Santa Fe, Rodman, and Newnans there would have been at least one meeting in Alachua county.

    Orion_70, you're right. I forgot where Citra was located. I was thinking it was farther west and south. Thanks. I may try to make that.
