Bonefish Conservation Comment Period

The FWC will hold workshops to gather public comments on possible rule changes that would make bonefish a catch-and-release-only fishery. Possession exceptions for record purposes and tournaments are being considered. Creation of a tournament exemption permit for tournaments in which bonefish would be temporarily possessed and transported for weigh-in purposes will also be discussed.

Previous Rule Changes for Bonefish
In July 2010 FWC extended state regulations for all Bonefish into federal waters and prohibited all sale of any bonefish.
