Chapter 68A-23 would be amended to include the recommendations that were made in the Black Bass Management Plan and presented to the Commission in June 2015. The amendment proposes to eliminate the three statewide management zones, reduce the number of specialized regulations from 58 to 16, and shift harvest from quality-size bass to more abundant smaller sizes to improve bass populations and enhancing angler satisfaction. The amendment would also establish a conservation zone for Shoal Bass in a section of the Chipola River and clarify regulations on border waters shared with Alabama and Georgia: the Perdido River, Lake Jackson – Walton County, Lake Seminole, and St. Mary’s River.
