Possession limits

10kman

It's time Florida puts into law,in addition to slot and daily limits,
possession limits.The amount of reds,sheepshead,mahi,snapper
and grouper than goes northward with our winter residents is
huge.One day,only,in an adjoining subdivision there were over
and 150 reds and sheepsheads being fileted,wrapped and frozen
heading North.
Second issue is because we have no possession limits is the amount
of fish thrown away because freezer burn,thawed on way home or
simply tired of eating the 50+lbs. of filets they brought back.

98% of the time,possession violations are officers stopping cars and finding
exceeded possession limits.If they came to your home,you likely had other
legal issues.

"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

Aren't there enough f'n rules for rec. fishermen.They already put out two books a year and by the time they are off the press there is already new bs they didn't get in the book in time.I for one would like to see people who understand that you can't count fish in the ocean to have some imput on what and how many fish I can keep.I guess thats like giving the weatherman a window.
