Heard that multiple hook rigs like Sabikis and chicken rigs ect. will be banned from Nov 15-Mar 15. True? Also what about the course needed to be taken before fishing SSP? Who has heard what??

yep, those will be banned, plus no trebles on lures and the course will most likely be offered online, Don't know the dates yet, practice up on your bridge net casting , I guess.

Used to be pretty good at throwing a cast net. Hope these old lazy muscles can do it again.

My guess that your completion of the course would show up on line and when they stopped you to do a tackle check and verify that you have completed the course.

From what I read, beginning Oct 1st the course has to be completed or you don't fish, so we have just over 30 days. Running out of time folks

Just got off the phone with FWC, not posted on their website yet, but the educational course will be posted eventually, guess they're still working on it. Also asked what happens with folks that don't even know it will be required, well, he wasn't sure. I suggested signs be placed at the entrances and the light went off....said that is an excellent idea and that could happen. He assured me nobody will be told to leave that officers will be out there informing everyone first.....how nice...lol

Just sign one of those signs so you will credit for coming up with that Idea, in several different languages. that's a real challenge to communicate out there sometimes. lol

Preciate it bro, it's cool you have my back. Getting back to the language topic, my experience out there is everybody can speak and understand english, they just choose to use their native tongue, I don't mind

Running out of time folks Just got a reply back from the FWC about the class requirement and they stated it is their plan for the course to go live online around the end of September. Just in time for the October 1st. deadline..

Thanks Flatsrunner for keeping us up to date. "Just Wondering" if any body is excited about Gag Grouper season opening on Friday? I know we have some bad weather to deal with first, but I get the feeling that a lot of people are pissed off with having to deal with the dolphins that they might not even bother.

Some folks never learn, they just keep doing the only thing they know. I might give it a shot, but it won't be with live bait. Who really believes nobody has taken grouper from there during this closure? Concerning the class requirement, flatsrunner's post makes it clear FWC does not consider it a priority so......fish on
