Summary
These rule amendments will clarify that snagging or snatch hooking is an allowable method of harvest for mullet. Additionally, these rule amendments will make a few clarifying changes needed to convey the original intent of the existing regulations. These changes will specify that certain limitations on the harvest of mullet also apply to possession and landing and modify the boundary where a seasonal commercial limit applies in the Peace River so that it is easier to reference on the water. Additional proposed changes are either organizational or an adoption of previously approved standardized language that improves consistency across marine fisheries rules.
