Deep Sea Fishing Ban Proposed

Posted by Brian on Monday Oct 19, 2009 Under Fishing News

In a move to help re-populate the dilapidating number of fishes along the shores of Florida and North Carolina, there is a fishing ban being proposed from 90 feet to 200 miles offshore. Bottom fishing could be banned for an entire year which includes the likes of snappers, groupers, grunts and amber jacks. This proposal is expected to draw some objections considering that deep sea fishing is a form of livelihood for many people. A hearing for the said ban will be held at Port Canaveral on November 11.
