Opinions needed - Permit harvest may be banned in Florida!

Post by Spear'em! »

The Bonefish and Tarpon Trust organization, formerly known as Bonefish and Tarpon Unlimited, has written to the chairman of the FFWCC and requested that all permit harvest be banned in the state of Florida. Under thier proposal an angler could keep one permit if he purchases a $50 tag.

This is my first poll so I hope it works. I will forward this link to the person that is requesting this info.

8) There are plenty of Permit. There is no need to protect any more than is already.

Even if they require people to purchase a $50.00 Permit stamp I will still buy it. I only keep one over 20" and release the release anyways.

I think it is fine the way it is too. Making a jack a restricted species? Ridiculous.
