FWC expands effort to ensure

Florida is the undisputedBass Fishing Capital of the World

The seven-member Florida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission (FWC) is appointed tostaggered terms by the governor and meets vetimes a year to hear staff reports, consider ruleproposals, and conduct other Commission business.Under Floridas Constitution, we enact rules andregulations regarding the states sh and wildliferesources and help staff achieve their mission ofmanaging sh and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benet of people.

According to the latest National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-AssociatedRecreation (2011), Florida continues to provide more hours of recreational freshwater sh-

ing enjoyment than any other state (25.7 million; Texas, the next highest, had 22.6 million).Overall (freshwater and saltwater), Florida ranked No. 1 with 3.1 million anglers (No. 2 NewYork had 1.9 million), and total expenditures of $5 billion (No. 2 New York spent $2.7 billion).Floridas role as the shing destination for travelers was also overwhelmingly reafrmed, with1.2 million nonresident anglers visiting the state (No. 2 Michigan had 347,000). The ripple ef-fect of these dollars was an $8.7 billion economic impact that supported 80,211 jobs in Florida.

During 201213, FWC staff in the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management havemoved forward aggressively to implement the Florida Black Bass Management Plan (BBMP),which we approved following scientic review and citizen input. As youve seen, Florida alreadyis the Fishing Capital of the World. Now, we look forward to working with stakeholdersto document that Florida is also the undisputed Bass Fishing Capital of the World. TheBBMP identied four main areas of focus: New Opportunities, Habitat Management, FishManagement and People Management. Progress has been made in each area. You can learnmore details on the MyFWC.com/Fishing website (select Black Bass Management, or FishBusters Bulletins to learn more), and be sure to read the article on Page 18.

You can learn more not only about mandatory freshwater shing regulations in thispublication but also about our management philosophies, funding for conservation (largelythrough shing license sales and grants from the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restorationprogram), angler recognition programs and shing tips.

A crucial new program that benets the resource, you the user and the economy is TrophyCatch.This angler conservation/reward program rewards anglers for recycling bass heavier than8 pounds, after properly documenting their catch and release. Visit TrophyCatchFlorida.comand see Page 29 for more details on this and other angler recognition programs.

Freshwater Rule ChangesEffective July 1, 2013

TrophyCatch is the FWCs new incentive-based program to document

catch and release of large bass. A new rule allows participating anglers totemporarily possess one bass 13 pounds or greater, over legal length andbag limits, while awaiting FWC staff certication. The sh must be keptalive until certied and then released in the water body where caught.

Baymeadows Fish Management Area, Duval County, is a newly establishedFish Management Area (25 acres). See Page 22 for detailed rules.

The recreational shing boundary for Lake Okeechobee was amendedto include two canals and one creek connected to Lake Okeechobee.See Page 14 for detailed rules.

This free booklet is your guide to Floridasfreshwater shing laws and regulations. TheFlorida Wildlife Code is the nal authority onshing laws (www.FLrules.org). The FloridaFish and Wildlife Conservation Commission(FWC) strives to ensure this information isaccurate but assumes no liability for errorsthat may occur. In addition, rules can changebetween publications. Contact the FWC ifyou have questions not adequately covered inthis booklet; see contact list and map below.This publication is valid from July 1, 2013,to June 30, 2014.

Florida remains the Fishing Capital of theWorld, due to great resources and responsiblemanagement. We consider the quality of li fethat is associated with recreational activitiesand living in a healthy environment to be ex-tremely important to Floridians and visitorsand are also striving to make Florida the un-disputed Bass Fishing Capital of the World.

The FWC uses the best scientic manage -ment possible to help fulll its mission ofManaging sh and wildlife resources fortheir long-term well-being and the benet ofpeople. To fund those efforts, the Legislaturesets shing license fees and exemptions, aswell as penalties for violating sh and wildlifeconservation laws. State law guaranteesmoney from the sale of shing licensesgoes to the FWC and cannot be diverted.

In 1950, Congressmen Dingell and John-son, at the request of anglers and the shingindustry, created the Federal Aid in SportFish Restoration (SFR) program, whereinshing tackle was assessed an excise fee and

INTRODUCTION

the monies returned to the states for shrestoration projects. The Wallop-Breauxamendment in 1984 added import duties onsport shing equipment, pleasure boats andyachts as well as taxes on motorboat fuels. Theresult is one of the most successful user-pays,public-benets programs in the world, withtaxes from the sale of outdoor recreation sup-plies enhancing and promoting the resource.

The amount of money Florida receives fromSFR is based on the size of the state andthe number of paid licensed anglers notlicenses and permits, but the people who holdthem. For instance, an angler with freshwaterand saltwater licenses and a snook permitcounts as one holder. Each certied holder(1.46 million) generated $8.01 more for sport-sh restoration, providing $11.7 million forFlorida in 2012.

Of those monies, 15 percent went to boatingaccess building and repairing ramps andcourtesy docks. The remainder went to freshand saltwater sheries conservation projectssuch as habitat restoration, sh stocking, ar-ticial reefs construction and youth shingclinics.

The FWC encourages all anglers to buy alicense (License.MyFWC.com). Even if youare legally exempt, you can contribute to thefuture of our sheries resources by buying alicense and helping the FWC keep your federaltax dollars in Florida to support sportshrestoration.

Recreational shing often is portrayed inadvertising because it is an enjoyable, whole-some experience that reects a happy and

healthy lifestyle. Moreover, it is the No. 1gateway activity to get youth connected tonature in active outdoor recreation, which canreduce obesity, improve grades and, most ofall, add enjoyment to their lives.

The FWC is working hard to ensure safeand sustainable recreational shing for allof our citizens and guests and depends onyour license fees to make sure there are shfor tomorrow.

LICENSES

Fishing license requirements and feesLicense, permit, and issuance fees and exemptions are established by the Legislature. In addition to the cost of licenses and permits speci-ed in this section, license agents currently charge a 50-cent issuance fee for selling licenses or permits.

Licensing requirements follow the species of sh you are shing for, regardless of where you are shing. For example, anglers shingfor and possessing largemouth bass in brackish water need a freshwater license; anglers shing for saltwater species in fresh water (e.g.,spotted sea trout, red drum, snook, or American shad) need a saltwater license to possess these species. An exception is that when shingin fresh water with a freshwater license (or legal exemption) you may take mullet without a saltwater license (seasons and sizes follow thesaltwater shing rules). See Page 12 for shing license exemptions, but remember, anyone can buy a license to contribute to conservation.

Resident Freshwater Fishing Licenses

For purposes of shing in Florida, a resident is dened as any person who has declared Florida as his or her only state ofresidence as evidenced by a valid Florida driver license or identication card with both a Florida address and a Florida residencyveried by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV). If the person does not have a Florida driver licenseor identication card on record with HSMV, a Florida voter information card, declaration of domicile, or homestead exemptionmay be used as proof of Florida residency. Active military personnel stationed in Florida, including their spouses and dependentchildren residing in the household, are considered residents when purchasing shing licenses.

Tips fromtheProsKayak FishingTERRY TOMALIN, Visit Florida & Fishing Insider; Outdoor Editor,

Tampa Bay Times (FishingCapital.com)

Florida is full of small lakes and ponds that just arent accessibleby powerboat. You can walk the shoreline and cast for bass, butnothing beats that on-the-water vantage point for working weedbeds and drop-offs. That is where a kayak can come in handy. A

decade ago, canoes outsold Kayaks at a rate of 51, but today,those numbers are reversed. These easily maneuverable boatsare well suited for fresh water, for when it comes to stalking big

bass you wont nd a quieter watercraft on earth.

Kayaks are relatively easy to paddle and steer. If you want toreposition your shing platform for that perfect cast, a few

icks of the paddle will get you there. Kayaks are also light.The average plastic boat weighs between 50 and 80 pounds.The average person can put a kayak on the roof of a car without

throwing out their back. With a kayak, there is no waiting inline at the boat ramp. Just pull your car alongside the road andslide your kayak into the water. These boats are also virtuallyindestructible. Unlike a berglass hull, you dont have to worryabout running into tree stumps. They require virtually no main-tenance. If you are really picky, you might rinse it off with freshwater after paddling. But that is about all it takes to keep onein shape. And when you look at the cost of a sea kayak vs. abass boat, there is no comparison. Most kayaks cost less than

$1,000, and kayaks hold their value. If you see a new model

you like, trade-in for it. Most dealers sell used boats as well asnew ones. And if that isnt enough to get you in a kayak, thinkabout the exercise factor. If you want a good workout, youll getit paddling a kayak. Who said shing was a lazy mans sport?

Homer CircleDont Ever Stop Fishing

GLEN LAU,Bass Fishing Hall of Fame inductee,cinematographer and author (GlenLau.com)

Glen Laus Fishing Tribute to Uncle Homer: Homer Circle (19142012), best known to millions of anglers and readers as UncleHomer, was still shing with me at 97. We met when I featuredhim in the movie Bigmouth and developed a close friendship that

included almost weekly shing trips on our favorite Florida waters.

No man ever embodied the love of bass shing more or providedmore tips to anglers then he did in his 36 years with Sports Aeld

and penning BassMasters Ask Uncle Homer column. I took this

photo of Uncle Homer with an 11 lb., 5 oz. trophy Florida largemouthjust a few months before he passed on. Our last trip was just vedays before he died. We shed from 2 in the afternoon until 5,and he caught six and I caught ve, which is just the way I like it.So the tip I want to pass on from my shing buddy is make timeto sh and sh for a lifetime. Ill close with his own special prayer:

The Fishermans Prayerby Homer Circle

God grant that I may sh until my dying day;And when at last I come to rest, Ill then most humbly pray;When in His landing net I lie in nal sleep;That in His mercy Ill be judged as good enough to keep!Amen.

Lunker Bass

SEAN RUSH, Owner/Operator of Trophy Bass Expeditions ofCentral Florida (FloridaTrophyBass.com)

When I helped Bob Williams catchthe rst Hall of Fame bass inducted

into the TrophyCatch program inFebruary 2013, it was on Rodman

Reservoir with a big wild shiner.I give my clients three important

tips when shing live shiners fortrophy bass. First, its live bait soonce you get it in position let it dothe work, dont reel it or drag it. Second, always leave the bailopen, so the bass doesnt feel the line. Give it 35 seconds toget the bait in position. Bass will often ip bait around in theirmouth so they can swallow it head rst. Finally, when you set

the hook, set it hard. I use a 4/0 hook and 20-pound big-gameline, with the hook below the lateral line near the baits tail.Remember, be ready to take a quick photo of the entire sh ona scale and tape measurer, so you can register your lunkers withTrophyCatch! (see video at YouTube.com/TrophyCatchFlorida.)

Trophy CatchTERRY SEGRAVES, Tournament Pro, Guide and Kissimmee Tourism Spokesperson (ExperienceKissimmee.com)

My Trophy Swims in Florida!Its ofcial, I was able to registera Lunker Club bass weighing9 lbs., 4 oz. that I released duringthe FLW Tournament on Lake

Okeechobee in February 2013.

TrophyCatch is a great programsponsored by the Florida Fishand Wildlife Conservation

Commission (FWC) and fundedby numerous business partners.

Among the most prominent of

those is Experience Kissimmee,which is providing a $10,000 bonus for the biggest veriedTrophyCatch bass from Osceola County and an additional $2,500to a guide that helps a customer catch and release it.

Some of the very best bass shing waters are found in OsceolaCounty, not only including famed lakes such as Kissimmee andTohopekaliga, but also some small local lakes.

Doing your research before you go shing can be a key to

success. Check out the FWCs Fishing Sites and Forecast pagefor quarterly updates on major resources and top lakes listed

by species, at MyFWC.com/Fishing. The site also providesnumbers you can call to talk to local bait-and-tackle shops forup-to-the-minute shing trends. Visiting TrophyCatchFlorida.com(or the sister resources on YouTube and FaceBook) can helpinform you on where the big ones are being caught right now.

So do your research and then share your catch by posting your BigCatches and TrophyCatch releases at TrophyCatchFlorida.com.Its fun getting recognized for a great catch, and even better tobe rewarded for letting your trophy swim in Florida.

Peacock BassALAN ZAREMBA, Owner/Operator of Worldwide Peacock Bass (FloridaPeacocks.com)

Peacock bass are special to me Ive been making a living by

guiding for them for more than 20 years but trophy peacocksare even more extraordinary. Buttery peacock bass are smallerthan largemouth bass, and each angler will have his or her own

opinion, but for me any peacock over 4 pounds is a special

sh what I consider a trophy, and qualies for the Big Catchangler recognition program (Page 29),

Trophy peacocks can be caught year-round, but late Februarythrough April is best when these sh start spawning and becomemore territorial and more aggressive. This spawning period

begins rst in the southern canals, and starts later aroundlate May in the northern extent of the peacocks range, likeLakes Osborne and Ida. Of course, cold weather can delay ordisrupt this pattern.

When the time is right, youll nd trophy peacock bass over a hardsurface such as submerged rock or concrete in preparation for

spawning the opposite of the soft, sand bottoms preferred bylargemouth bass. Like trophy largemouths, however, the bigger

peacocks are often found deeper.My best lures for trophy peacocksare bucktail or Road-Runner jigs,

in 38 oz. sizes. I prefer char-treuse/white, red/white, or red/

yellow. You want to keep the jigmoving with a bouncing motion ona tight line, and repeat until theyeat the jig. You have to nd thesh to catch them its all sight

shing and I wear a quality pairof polarized sunglasses. The dif-ference a good pair makes is

like night and day.

I strongly advocate catch-and-release during this time period released peacocks will return to where they were caught andcontinue their spawning activity. These sh are special and

different, very much worth protecting, and Florida has a greatpeacock shery thanks to the FWC.

FLORIDA FRESHWATER FISH

Florida freshwater shes are divided into game sh that have specic bag and length limits and may only be taken with pole-and-line orrod-and-reel, and nongame sh, which are all others. A license is required to take nongame sh, but additional gear types are allowed (seePage 12). Non-native sh are those that do not occur in Florida naturally; most should be harvested and never released. Exceptions arepeacock bass, which is a game sh, and triploid grass carp, which are stocked for vegetation control (see Page 13). Where applicable, staterecord (SR) weights and the Big Catch (BC) qualifying length or weight for adults are provided. See Page 29 or MyFWC.com/BigCatch formore details including youth qualifying sizes, slams, specialist, master, elite angler and the new TrophyCatch angler recognition program.

In June 2011, The Florida Fish and Wild-

life Conservation Commission (FWC)

approved the Black Bass Management

Plan. It was the result of more than 7,500

anglers providing input to our scientists

followed by detailed discussions with a

technical assistance group representing

shing-related businesses, university ex-perts, professional anglers, outdoor media

and shing guides. Implementation of

the plan is expected to create signicant

ecological, economic and social benets

for Florida in the long term but is already

producing remarkable results.

The goal of the plan is to ensureFlorida is the Black Bass Fishing

Capital of the World by:

1. Ensuring healthy lakes and rivers to

benet many species of sh and wild-

life, as well as trophy bass sheries.

2. Strengthening local economies by

documenting and increasing econom-

ic benets derived from bass shing,

which provided more than 14 million

days of quality outdoor recreation for

bass anglers and generated an eco-

nomic impact of $1.25 billion prior to

implementing the plan.

3.Attracting events such as nationalprofessional bass shing tournaments,

which have huge economic impacts, to

smaller towns and cities as a result of

Floridas enhanced reputation.

Here is a partial list of accomplishments.

(Also available at MyFWC.com/Fishing;click the Black Bass Management Plan to

review the plan and, then look for First-

Year Updates, for more details.)

Bass GeneticsThe FWC stopped state-owned hatcheries

from stocking or relocating bass outside

their native range. Genetic testing will

help ensure pure Florida populations will

be maintained. New rules regulate im-portation of non-native bass and prohibitanglers from moving bass around in ways

that could hurt their genetic integrity or

move parasites and diseases.

Hydrilla ManagementThe FWC Invasive Plant Management

Section implemented an agency position

statement to guide the agency in manag-

ing hydrilla using a risk-based approach

that now incorporates public input into

hydrilla management plans.

Bass TournamentsTournament permits annually allow clubs

and organizations to possess bass outside

legal size limits with the condition thatall bass (even those that could normallybe harvested) must be released. The FWC

is strengthening partnerships with bass

shing organizations and local communi-

ties to encourage large tournaments to

come to Florida and to enhance facilities.

Lake OkeechobeeAnother objective was to work coopera-

tively with other agencies to emphasize

recreational sheries. An example isLake Okeechobee, where the coopera-

tive efforts of local citizens groups, the

South Florida Water Management Dis-trict, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

and the FWC got the Water RegulationSchedule changed to benet lake ecology.

Outstanding catch rates for bass and

crappie are being reported.

Fisheries RegulationsFWC biologists are seeking to use the

least restrictive regulations possible to

protect trophy bass, while maintaining

a statewide bass shery that provides

diverse angling opportunities, includ-

ing controlled harvest and high anglersatisfaction. University of Florida hu-

man dimensions experts are working to

enhance the public input process, and a

series of townhall-type meetings was heldin spring 2013. Also, a survey was distrib-

uted to anglers to obtain their opinions.

Shoal BassThe BBMP incorporates all four black

bass species found in Florida. Shoal bass

are a lesser known species that occur

in a limited range in the upper Chi-

pola River. Recent research provides a

science-informed perspective to assess

and manage this species. Results showa robust population of shoal bass. The

Big Catch angler recognitions program

(see Page 29), added a new Bass Slam

to encourage awareness of these other

black bass species.

Lake ApopkaTo expedite restoration of Lake Apopka,

the Florida Legislature appropriated $4.8

million in 2012. A multi-agency task

force identied ve projects to restore

this valuable shery. In the interim, theFWC continues to stock the lake with

non-reproducing sunshine bass to provide

a recreational shery.

Bass StockingStocking bass can effectively create new

sheries and re-establish a shery aftera major sh kill. FWC hatchery staff

developed a new production technique to

spawn bass out of season, so advanced-

ngerlings (4-inch) are ready to stock

when more abundant prey are available.

Now FWC biologists are conducting a

small-lake stocking study to determine

survival of advanced-ngerling bass in

11 lakes throughout Florida.

Trophy Tagging StudyFWC biologists tagged 136 trophy large-mouth bass greater than 8 pounds in

Floridas public waters during the rst

tagging season. Results are very infor-

mative and will help guide trophy bass

management planning in the future. If

you catch any sh with a tag, cut the tag

close to the sh and call the Tag Hotline

at 1-800-367-4461 or email tagreturn@

MyFWC.com.

TrophyCatchProviding greater opportunities for tro-

phy-size bass and promoting Floridas

exceptional largemouth shery was an

important component of the BBMP.

TrophyCatch (TrophyCatchFlorida.com),

launched in October 2012 and will help

document that Florida is the Bass Fish-

ing Capital of the World, while promot-

ing catch-and-release of trophy bass.

Register, legally catch an 8-pound-plusbass, document it according to the rules,

and release it in Florida to claim great

rewards and valuable prizes.

Fellsmere Water Management AreaThe Fellsmere project is an example of a

new opportunity. This 10,000-acre par-

cel of land in Indian River County was

purchased by the St. Johns River Water

Management District and is being con-

verted into a reservoir. The FWC provided

resources to enhance sh and wildlife

habitat and to benet sh and wildlife

populations, anglers and wildlife viewers.

High School Bass FishingAn example of current efforts to help re-

cruit future anglers is FWC involvement

in laying the groundwork to incorporatebass shing as a sanctioned sport in high

schools. FWC is working with the FLW

and The Bass Federation, as well as the

Florida Department of Education to in-

crease competition between schools with

bass shing clubs.

e-TournamentsBiologists evaluated an alternative weigh-

in procedure to reduce handling stress on

bass. Two experimental e-tournaments

were evaluated. Fish were weighed or

measured on the boat, photographed

and then released. e-tournaments area good choice for bass anglers wanting

to hold tournaments during summer or

on waters where bass cannot be legally

kept. However, no plans to require suchtournaments are currently contemplated.

The FWC will continue to update you as

we strive to implement the BBMP and

use TrophyCatch and other research

methods to evaluate our success. Pleasecheck our website, MyFWC.com/Fishing,

sign up for newsletters, and follow us on

FaceBook. TrophyCatch is especiallyactive and provides great insights into

when and where the best shing is(FaceBook.com/TrophyCatchFlorida and

YouTube.com/TrophyCatchFlorida).

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissionis Creating the Next Generation that CaresSM

The FWC and its partners are creating thenext generation that cares about Floridasgreat outdoors, sh and wildlife and theirhabitats, while helping youth lead a happier,healthier and smarter lifestyle.

Over the past decade, children have be-come increasingly engaged with television,computers and other entertainment media.

This lifestyle has resulted in higher ratesof obesity, depression and other physical,psychological and emotional problems. Agrowing body of evidence suggests that allthese areas of a childs life can improve byencouraging them to connect with nature.

The Get Outdoors Florida! Coalition bringsmany partners together to show how easy it isto offset these trends, by getting kids outdoors.GetOutdoorsFlorida.org lists simple activi-ties and tips and provides a list of partners.The website also lists events and locationsfrom around the state that take advantageof the Sunshine States climate to provide an

unending array of opportunities. You can alsovolunteer or make a cash donation on the siteto help further this important cause.

The Florida Youth Conservation CentersNetwork is taking this effort to a new level bypartnering with facilities around the state toprovide camps and curricula that allow youthto enjoy and learn about shing, hunting,

shooting, paddling, boating, wildlife viewingand more. The focus for both groups is on safeand sustainable nature-based activities thatcan be enjoyed for a lifetime, while makingthat lifetime longer and more enjoyable.

The American Pediatrics Association rec-ommends that parents become good rolemodels by increasing their own level of physi-cal activity. Parents should also incorporatephysical activities that family members ofall ages and abilities can do together. Theyshould encourage children to play outside asmuch as possible. The National Environ-mental Education Foundation and federal

agencies have begun training health careprofessionals on the importance of activenature-based recreation. They are even arm-ing them with prescription pads. The recom-mended prescription get outdoors and havefun. Fishing in particular is one of the leastexpensive, simplest and most accessible gate-way activities to an active outdoor lifestyle.

Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration

A legacy of successHow often do you see

people or businesses

wanting to be taxed and

happy about it?

In 1937, PresidentFranklin D. Rooseveltsigned the Federal Aidin Wildlife RestorationAct. This Act has been

key to implementing the North American Model of WildlifeConservation (see MyFWC.com). Since 1941, sport-shingbusinesses have paid a federal excise tax that was deposited

in the general treasury of the United States but did not directlybenet manufacturers or anglers. In 1950, sportsmen andbusinesses teamed with conservation-minded policy makers toredirect these existing federal excise taxes to the RestorationProgram (aka: SFR, Dingell-Johnson or Wallop-Breaux). As of2012, Federal Aid and the North American Model will havebeen working for 75 years.

The concept was to restore sportsh populations and improvepublic access, so more people can enjoy shing and so shingsales would increase. SFR came about as a result of anglerswanting to see more money directed toward restoring thenations recreational sheries, and ensuring better shing

opportunities for themselves and future generations. It has beenthe best thing for anglers since shing reels were invented.

Today, SFR uses a small excise tax on shing reels and othershing tackle, as well as a motor boat fuel tax, to fund sportsh restoration and boating access programs. It is working.There are now at least 77 percent more anglers than in 1950.Purchases of tax-related items by anglers have increased bynearly 200 percent in dollars (adjusted for the consumer-priceindex) since 1955.

Anglers and shing businesses want to know the benets theyreceive in return. To help answer this, Andrew Loftus Consultingand Southwick Associates analyzed data on excise taxes

invested, shing participation, and angler purchases of excise-tax related products for a 2011 report to the Association of Fishand Wildlife Agencies. The report found that excise-tax relatedreturn-on-investment ranged from 1,585 percent in 1970 to2,643 percent in 1980.

In Florida alone, SFR provided $12 million in 2011, of which 15percent ($1.8 million) went to boating access. Freshwater sheriesconservation received $5 million. The rest went to saltwatersheries. In freshwater, the FWC uses this money to improvesheries habitat, stock sh, conduct research and manage shpopulations. We also conduct aquatic education programs andprovide valuable shing and conservation tips to anglers.
