The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is hosting a number
of public workshops and an online webinar this month to gather public
input on the Gulf cobia fishery.
The
FWC hs heard concerns about cobia in recent years, especially in the
panhandle area of the state.
Cobia
is currently open year-round and has a minimum size limit of 33
inches fork length and a daily bag limit of one fish per person
from state waters with a maximum of six fish per vessel.
If
you would like to attend one of the workshops, the closest one to our
area will be on May the 16th in Tallhassee.
There
will also be a workshop in Destin on May the 22nd and in Panama City
on May the 23rd.
If
you don't want to travel you can take part in a statewide webinar on
May the 24th.
Written
comments on cobia can be submitted at MyFWC.com/SaltwaterComments.
On-line
comments must be submitted no later than June 15th.
