Re: cold day, nice fish

until the 19th.......

In addition, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recently approved a rule, consistent with federal regulations, that will close the recreational and commercial harvest of shallow-water groupers (including gag, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, red hind, rock hind, coney, graysby, yellowfin grouper, yellowmouth grouper and tiger grouper) from Jan. 19 through April 30 in Atlantic and Monroe County state waters this year. This closure will begin on Jan. 1 in subsequent years.
