Fishing with an Umbrella Rig
Heading to Fernandina Beach next week for a long-awaited vacation and need to know if it is legal to use an umbrella rig off the pier there. I read thru the FL Saltwater fishing rules and they were clear as mud on the matter. Can someone please give me the straight answer on this?

Re: Fishing with an Umbrella Rig
There's no rule against using more than 2 hooks on a rig, fishing in salt water (sabiki rig).
However there are rule against using more than 2 hooks rigs for certain fish like redfish(red drum). So check for the species you are trying to catch.
I am remembering this off of my head. Please someone double confirm this.

Re: Fishing with an Umbrella Rig
I was thinking (hoping, actually!) for a trout or two when I cast it off the pier. I wasn't planning to let it sink very deep...not down into redfish range.
