nicecast Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Trips don't breed until they are 17-19" and every single Gulf state has already raised to 18". About time Florida! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 The two 18” trips I caught a few minutes ago should taste good for supper tonight. Figured I might as well start following the new reg now. Only the freshest in Choko!! 🙏🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnamJnam Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Awesome. Now time to tighten up some other regulations! Give Redfish a season so they have a period to recover or change the slot and make it a smaller gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanaflatsfish Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Good rules......more and more fisherman moving from offshore to nearshore and pressure on....for me, two reds, a few trout and a couple of sheepies feeds the family and the neighboor next door.....don't really need to be filling a cooler with fish......but, so long as people are within the regs...i'm fine with what they want to do....
