The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds anglers that rules limiting the use of certain types of fishing gear in Boca Grande Pass take effect April 1.
These rules prohibit the use of more than three fishing lines per vessel to harvest any species of fish and prohibit the use of breakaway gear to harvest any fish in the pass during April, May and June. Breakaway gear is "any bob, float, weight, lure or spoon that is affixed to a fishing line or hook with wire, line, rubber bands, plastic ties or other fasteners designed to break off when a fish is caught."
The FWC encourages anglers to use and develop rigging techniques that reduce the likelihood of debris on the bottom of the pass, to respect others fishing in the pass and to operate their boats safely.
For more information regarding tarpon fishing regulations, use of appropriate tackle and proper fishing and boating behavior in this world-renowned fishery, see the FWC's free brochure "Tarpon Fishing in Boca Grande Pass." The brochure is available at many locations in the Charlotte Harbor/Boca Grande area and online at MyFWC.com/docs/RulesRegulations/Tarpon_brochure.pdf.

Zippity Do DA, Zippity Day, My Oh my what a windy ole’ day; Winds continue to be heavy, setting back any coming of kingfish by at least a week। Anglers should be using a variety of baits, such as white bait to straws in bagging bragging rights to some of the biggest Spanish mackerel seen in years just off the beaches of inshore Florida। Larger mackerel have invaded the artificial reefs 5 to 7 miles offshore along with scattered kingfish. During the daytime, pompano and nice-size sea trout are being caught in the holes adjacent to the flats, and Reds are found tailing falling tides along side channels to docks.
