All Bottom Fishing to be Curtailed

Comments Off on All Bottom Fishing to be Curtailed

As if the end of red snapper fishing along the southeast US coast were not enough, the SAFMC is going to vote in early June on their Amendment 17A to their fishing rules.  This additional ruling will halt all bottom fishing in water from 98 feet deep to 240 feet deep off the Atlantic coast from about Melbourne, Florida to the Georgia-South Carolina line.  Their logic is that someone might catch a red snapper in those waters, so to prevent that from happening, they just close it to all bottom fishing.
There is more.  Spearfishing, including commercial spearfishing will be allowed in those same waters.  So while commercial divers with power heads and explosive projectiles vacuum the bottom, unfettered by hook and line fishermen, we all just sit and watch.
Want even more?   The North and South Carolina coast lines are not affected by this ruling. Hook and […]

Red Snapper Season to be Closed Another 180 Days

Comments Off on Red Snapper Season to be Closed Another 180 Days

With little fanfare and no public comment allowed, the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (SAFMC) has decided to leave the red snapper season closed in it’s jurisdiction for another 180 days.  That means that from North Carolina to the Florida Keys, no red snapper may be taken.
I don’t know about you, but this seems to be a pretty draconian move on their part – particularly because they apparently have no scientific evidence to tell them the extended closure is necessary.
I have seen several boats who ignored the law and took red snapper anyway.  They were showing off their catch in a gas station parking lot away from the water.  These are the kind of anglers we do not need.  They have become as much a a part of the problem as the tree huggers.
PETA, et al., are jumping for joy right now as they see this being another step toward […]
