Summary


68B-4.018 will be amended to prohibit the attachment of a weight to any hook, artificial fly, or lure in a manner such that the weight hangs lower than the hook when the line or leader is suspended vertically from the rod while fishing within the boundaries of Boca Grande Pass. These prohibitions will apply year-round when fishing for any species in the Pass. Such gear possessed onboard a vessel operating within the boundaries of the Pass must be stowed in such a manner that its immediate use as a fishing implement is impracticable.
