Atlantic anglers take notice: All recreational harvesting of groupers in shallow waters will be closed from January 1st, through to May 1st, 2023 according to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission. The policy will limit the taking of many popular shallow-water grouper species until the summer. The affected species of grouper will be as follows according to FWC: • Black grouper • Coney grouper • Gag grouper • Graysby grouper • Red hind grouper • Rock hind grouper • Red grouper • Scamp • Yellowfin grouper • Yellowmouth grouper The purpose of the policy is to manage the population of one of the most popular game and dining fish along the Atlantic coast of Florida. Those who fish for grouper either by rod and reel or by spearfishing will once again be permitted to legally harvest grouper in the month of May. For more information please visit myfwc.com.

Craig Patterson owner of Donald’s Bait and Tackle by the Dunlawton bridge in Port Orange caught this sheepshead.

FWC proposes rule to help improve survival of released reef fish At its Nov. 30-Dec. 1 Commission meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) proposed a rule to require the possession of a descending device or venting tool that is rigged and ready for use on board a vessel when harvesting or attempting to harvest, including catch and release, reef fish in state waters.

This proposed rule is designed to increase the survival of released reef fish, a top priority management issue in the Gulf and South Atlantic. If approved, this rule would also require the use of a descending device or venting tool if releasing a fish that is exhibiting signs of barotrauma prior to release. As reef fish are reeled up from depth, they can suffer pressurerelated injuries known as barotrauma.

These injuries include the stomach protruding out of the mouth, bulging eyes, bloated belly, distended intestines and inability to swim down independently. If not treated correctly, barotrauma can be lethal to reef fish.

Tools including descending devices or venting tools can help released fish recover from the effects of barotrauma. Descending devices are weighted devices capable of releasing fish at a depth that is sufficient to recompress expanded gas and help fish recover from the effects of barotrauma. Venting tools are sharp, hollow instruments that allow expanded gas to escape from an overexpanded swim bladder.

OUPV-6 Pack $675

Includes test, book, and all equipment necessary Master Upgrade-Total Tuitions $250 SSFHMagazine July/August 2020 Page 7

Barotrauma mitigation tool requirements have already been adopted in Gulf and Atlantic federal waters. In Gulf federal waters, fishers have the choice of possessing either a descending device or a venting tool that is rigged and ready for use. In Atlantic federal waters, fishers are required to have a descending device that is readily available for use.

A final rule hearing for barotrauma mitigation tool requirements will be presented at a future Commission meeting.

Find current reef fish gear requirements at MyFWC.com/ ReefFishGear. Anyone who plans to harvest or attempt to harvest, including catch and release, certain reef fish species in Gulf or Atlantic waters from a private recreational vessel (includes anglers over 65 years of age) must sign up for the free State Reef Fish Angler designation and renew it annually. Learn more at MyFWC.com/SRFS and sign up today at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.

DID YOU KNOW? The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional fishery management councils in the U.S. Established by Congress in 1976 through the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to manage fisheries within U.S. federal waters.

Jurisdiction The South Atlantic Council is responsible for the conservation and management of fishery resources in federal waters ranging from 3 to 200 miles off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and east Florida to Key West.

Responsibilities The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) is the primary law governing marine fisheries management in the U.S. Approved in 1976, the MSA extended the U.S. jurisdiction of fisheries out to 200 miles and established the eight regional fishery management councils, creating a transparent and public fishery management process. The councils must follow the guidelines outlined through the MSA, including 10 National Standards and Rules of Conduct to promote sustainable and ethical fisheries management.

The South Atlantic Council develops fishery management plans and recommends management measures designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the resources it manages. Specific responsibilities include: SSFHMagazine Jan/Feb 2023 Page 19

•Developing and amending fishery management plans for approval/ implementation by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce •Setting annual catch limits and management measures based on the best available science •Developing research priorities with scientists and stakeholder/industry partners •Conducting public hearings and gathering public input on proposed fishery management actions Managed Fisheries Over 64 species of finfish, crustaceans, and corals are managed by the South Atlantic Council through eight fishery management plans. The South Atlantic Council works jointly with the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, New England Fishery Management Council, and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to address management needs across jurisdictional boundaries.

Council Members The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council has a total of 17 members, with 13 voting members including eight citizens from the four southeastern states. Appointed members serve three-year terms and are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce from lists of nominees submitted by the governors of each state. Appointees are limited to 3 consecutive terms.

Council Process The South Atlantic Council meets four times each year, once in each of the southeastern states. The Council meetings are open to the public and available via webinars as they occur. Before final action on any proposed rule change is taken, the Council involves the public through informal public scoping meetings, public hearings, and input at Council meetings. Proposed rule changes are then sent to NMFS for further review, public comment, and consideration by the Secretary of Commerce before being implemented.

In addition, the Council receives input and recommendations from knowledgeable people from other state and federal agencies, universities, and members of the public who serve on various committees and panels. These include Advisory Panels, the Scientific & Statistical Committee, and the SocioEconomic Panel.

Dolphin

Coryphaena hippurus, dorado, mahi mahi

The dolphin fish has bright turquiose, green and yellow patterns, which fade almost immediately upon death.

This species may be distinguished from the pompano dolphin by its 55-66 dorsal fin rays, and a very wide and square tooth patch on the tongue. The body tapers sharply from head to tail; irregular blue or golden blotches scattered over sides; anterior profile of head on adult males is nearly vertical; head of females more sloping; the single dark dorsal fin extends from just behind the head to the tail; anal fin margin concave and extending to tail.

Dolphin are fast growing, prolific and have a short life span – an average of 5 years. Average fork lengths for males and females ranges from 34 to 55 inches. Males grow faster and usually live longer than females. The spawning season varies with latitiude.

Dolphin collected in the Florida Current spawned from November through July, and those collected from the Gulf Stream near North Carolina were reproductively active during June and July. Small females may spawn 240 thousand pelagic eggs, and fish larger than 43 inches may spawn several million. Dolphin are attracted to Sargassum, a floating brown algae, which serves as a hiding place and source of food. Other sources of food associated with the Sargassum include small fish, crabs, and shrimp. Dolphin reach swimming speeds estimated at 50 knots and may also pursue fast -swimming fish, such as flying fish or mackerels.

Tightline Anchor Inc. was founded in 2018 by friends and business partners, Thomas Langton and Greg Linton. They have since added another member to their team Farouk Dhanidina. The diverse team at Tightline is passionate about the outdoors and providing high performance and long-lasting anchoring tools to the small watercraft market. They have been growing alongside an explosive kayak fishing market but have found their 3.5lb K5 grapnel anchor meets the needs of other classes of watercraft owners including Jon Boats, Dinghies, Belly Boats, Jet Ski’s and Skiffs.

Tightline has begun to be recognized by kayak anglers that demand quality and invest in gear that makes their time on the water more efficient and most importantly, safer. An anchor for any vessel can be seen as the equivalent of brakes on your SUV and professionals understand that the right tool for the job is critical.

Tightline’s reputation has been forged in listening to customer feedback and implementing improvements in their anchor designs in what they describe as ANCHOR EVOLUTION. The current K5 is the result of 9 product iterations and hundreds of hours of field testing.

Furthermore, Tightline is owned by the people customers talk to on the phone and through email correspondence, a rarity in today's marketplace.

Tightline stands behind their products and offers a lifetime warranty to the original owner ensuring the customer will have their anchor repaired or replaced in a timely manner.

We understand the research and development team at Tightline is gearing up for a spring product launch that will enhance the fishing experience for those that frequent river locations.

We’re excited to see Tightline continue to innovate and contribute to making time spent on the water safer and more fun!

South Atlantic Fishery Management

· Are you hooked on bottomfishing?

W O !

N N E P O

If so, use non-offset circle hooks when fishing for South Atlantic snapper, grouper species with natural baits north of 28° N latitude (just south of Cape Canaveral, FL). Make sure ALL hooks are non-stainless steel.

• Breakfast 7am -10am • Lunch 11am - 3pm • Dinner 5pm - 10pm • Sunday Cajun Brunch 9am - 2pm

Non-offset circle hooks are less likely to snag a fish in a lethal area, such as the eye, gut, or gills. Hooks made of non-stainless steel will rust out much faster if they were to stay hooked in the fish. These measures increase the survival of released fish!

FWC Commissioners approve the first Springs Protection Zone in Florida at Nichols Spring At its Nov. 30-Dec. 1 meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved a rule establishing a Springs Protection Zone for Nichols Spring and its associated spring run in Sumter County.

The Spring Protection Zone for Nichols Spring will be the first created in Florida. Anchoring, mooring, beaching and grounding of vessels was determined to have caused harm to bank vegetation, cypress trees and aquatic grasses in and around the spring. These activities will be prohibited within the Springs Protection Zone.

At its December 2021 meeting, the Commission established the criteria and process used to create Springs Protection Zones. FWC staff coordinated with Sumter County officials, the Southwest Florida Water Management District and Department of Environmental Protection to review whether Nichols Spring met the criteria for the creation of a Springs Protection Zone and held a

The public will still be able to visit Nichols Spring but will be prohibited from anchoring, mooring, beaching or grounding a vessel within the spring or along the spring’s shoreline.

SEMINOLE-ORANGE COUNTY The Florida Trophy Bass Project is the FWC’s new initiative with the goal of Florida being the undisputed Trophy Bass Capital of the World. In the coming years, more effort will be focused on producing, documenting, and promoting trophy bass as well as increasing opportunities to catch Florida’s heaviest trophies. FWC biologists will be utilizing both proven and innovative management techniques to grow even more large bass in certain areas while also conducting research projects to learn more about what it takes to grow giant bass.

Examples of specific strategies to help us reach this goal are: • Document a higher percentage of trophy bass catches • Increase marketing for trophy bass and the opportunities to catch them • Regulation changes • Supplemental forage stocking • Small bass removal through increased bag limits in specific places • Genetics research • Water level fluctuation • Habitat enhancement

Share the Beach with Shorebirds this Winter!

This winter season, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds beachgoers how to help protect vulnerable resident and migratory shorebirds and seabirds while enjoying Florida’s coastal habitats.

Each winter, Florida’s resident shorebirds and seabirds are joined by both human and avian snowbirds coming to our state’s shorelines from colder climates. Both resident and migratory shorebirds rely on Florida’s sandy beaches for important habitat and resting spots. Whether you’re a fellow sunshine state resident or a visitor to our beaches this winter, you can have a big impact on conservation of coastal birds. Help shorebirds and seabirds along our coasts by following these simple shorebird-friendly tips: Do the flock walk. Instead of walking straight through, try walking around flocks of birds at the beach and stay out of posted areas. Getting too close to resting shorebirds, seabirds and wading birds can cause them to flush, disturbing birds that may need important rest from long migratory flights.

Look for Critical Wildlife Area closures. Be on the lookout for signs designating Critical Wildlife Areas on the beach or coastal islands – these areas are closed to public access to protect high concentrations of wading birds and shorebirds.

Boaters and beachgoers can help birds by keeping their distance and noise volumes low near CWAs. Keep your pups at home. Even well-behaved dogs can frighten shorebirds, causing them to panic and expend valuable energy. If you bring your dog with you to the shore, go to a beach where they’re allowed and follow all leash laws.

Resist the urge to feed the birds. Sharing snacks with birds at the beach may seem harmless or even helpful but it can be harmful to them and other wildlife. Shorebirds and seabirds are healthiest when eating the natural prey they normally forage for, such as small invertebrates in the sand and fish they’ve caught themselves from the water.

Properly stash all trash. Trash and food scraps attract predators while litter on beaches and in the water can entangle birds, turtles and other wildlife. Beachgoers can help birds and other native wildlife by properly disposing of all trash, filling in man-made holes in the sand, and removing all personal gear from the beach before sunset. Fishing line can be deadly to waterbirds, sea turtles and other wildlife, so be sure to dispose of it properly. To find a monofilament recycling station near you, visit mrrp.myfwc.com.

For more information about ways to help shorebirds in Florida while at the beach, go to MyFWC.com/Shorebirds

Hurricane Ian derelict vessel removal efforts continue

View Our Full Menu Online at

Weeks after Hurricane Ian made landfall the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and partner agencies continue their efforts to remove vessels rendered derelict by the storm in Charlotte, Collier, Lee and Monroe counties.

Imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has identified over 7,500 potentially displaced vessels. FWC officers have assessed over 4,200 vessels on the waters of the state.

“Our deployed officers continue the mission by locating owners and delivering notification of rights packets and waiver forms,” said FWC Boating and Waterways Section

Representative Capt. Travis Franklin. “The assessment phase is all but complete at this point, though we do have new DVs pop up here and there almost daily."

In Lee County, 708 vessels were identified as derelict and over half of those vessels have been removed or brought into compliance.

Welcome to THE TAVARES DOG HOUSE on Ruby Street in Tavares.

Their chili cheese dogs are delicious.

Good service, good food and fun events. Stop in and say “Hi”.

BASS N GAL GUIDE SERVICE 352-267-0062 Bass are being caught on the Harris chain using topwater, swimming worms and crank baits.

Under docks, deep holes and at points are good locations to fish. A slow falling sinking weightless worm or a chrome blue or green Rat-LTrap reeled in as slowly as possible, are both working quite well. For the fishing trip you’ve dreamed of give me a call.

Porter at BROOKER BAIT & TACKLE 352-460-0695 said on the Harris Chain the specks are hitting with the cooler weather. Big Lake Harris has been producing some nice ones fishing jigs off the grass lines.

During the Black Friday tournament they weighed in 5 bass that weighed 37 pounds.
