The proposal to delete 68A-23.0059(f) is to remove the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulations for Edward Medard Reservoir, Hillsborough County that is being established as a Fish Management Area (FMA) with new set of rules. The deletion of existing rules will prevent angler confusion and enhance enforcement of new Fish Management Area rules. The proposed rule language in 68A-23.005(i) 1. will incorporate two canals and one creek into the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s boundary for Lake Okeechobee. The boundary of Lake Okeechobee will be redefined to include all of L-50 canal in Glades County, all of Sportsman’s Canal (LD-3) in Glades County, and Creek to U.S. 27 and Fisheating Creek to U.S. Hwy 27. The new boundary will ensure that anglers fishing in the two canals and one creek or traversing Lake Okeechobee from the two canals and one creek will be subject to same set of rules currently in place for Lake Okeechobee. The proposed rule will eliminate angler confusion on Lake Okeechobee boundaries and reduce difficulties in effectively enforcing rules for freshwater fish. The proposed rule language in 68A-23.005 (10) will allow anglers participating in the TrophyCatch Program to temporarily possess in live condition, one Hall of Fame candidate bass (13 pounds or greater) over the legal length limit and bag limit until the fish is certified by FWC staff or authorized representative. The proposed rule will increase recycling of large bass and enable the FWC to document catch of trophy bass, which are the primary goals of the TrophyCatch Program.
