I’ve always found fishing game very professional and nice as long as you didn’t screw up break the law making mess whatever They just guys doing a job and they do it well that’s where we can still grow fishing and hunting since they prevent the idiots from killing everything

I am Florida native born in Daytona Beach in 1951& I will respond to the idiot that doesn’t understand the reason for no bream on bush hooks or trot lines. IT WILL DECIMATE THE BASS POPULATION!!
If you’re too dumb to realize that then stay INDOORS!!
Those of us who appreciate what FWC does and have lived here a lifetime realize what a great service they do for us. They have brought back the Gators from Extinction the Bears from Extinction are more recently the Goliath grouper in South Florida have been protected and brought back. Those of you who don’t understand the value FWC provides just stay home

1. Have Owned a properly safety equiped boat for years
Sober operated it. Never a ticket for either. Officers
boarding boat never a problem.
2. Messed up slot limit rule on bass got a ticket.
Guess what my problem not FWC.
3. Study your fishing area rules, be sober. Don’t lie, make sure you have proper safety equipment ! You will get checked and on your way Happy.! So easy to do.. However
some of you know it all and will get busted. Your problem no one else’s. On the shore fishing or in a boat know what the law is !

If you take ANY game illegally you are subject to get a citation. Period. FWC have a job to do and that is to protect these resources so that future generations of Floridians can enjoy the SAME things we do. Stop crying because you got caught stealing from us all.

@Tank, It is my understanding that a person cannot fish with live bream but can use them as cut-bait. ALL BUSH HOOKS AND TROTLINES ARE REQUIRED TO BE MARKED WITH THE OWNERS NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION, THIS HAS BEEN LAW FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW!!!

It’s not that it’s illegal to fish with brem you can’t leave the line unattended cause it’s bass,favorite meal too and it would kill a lot of bass ..if you catch the brem on hook an line you can fish with it no cast nets

I love that there are regulations for fishing and boating. The ones you see complaining about them are usually the ones who consistently break them. I have seen people catching and keeping 40+ undersized mangrove snapper and reported them, because if you allow people to keep as many fish of any size then eventually that fish will be gone for good. People never seem to think of the future. Keep up the good work FWC.

Awesome we need more of this FWC at all ramps especially in Florida and especially the Tampa bay area and in Charlotte County the Fisheries are dying and being depleted down here millions of humans transplants have moved here in the last 10 years and bought a boat and want to bring home everything they catch as a trophy and not applying to the rules and regulations! Do ye FOO’s remember back in 2018 and 2019 when millions of fishes died on the West coast Snooks Trouts Mullet and Reds and bait fish due to a massive Red Tide for almost 2 years!!!!!!

I support theses officers 100%. If no one takes action there will be no fish. I also support the limits being placed on fish. I may take one on occasion for dinner but the catch and release is far better. Also no one mentioned all the warnings these officers have probably given. I’m sure their desecration entered into their decision making process.
