    Been looking for weeks trying to find the skyway educational course but can find jack. Anyone took the course yet? If so can you put the link up please?
  • Fwc doesn't know what they are enforcing half the time and if you don't believe me call and ask them a question about any law see how long it takes to get an answer

    They should protect the unborn with as such vigor. ♥️🙏♥️

    Great idea for conserving the resoures for the future. I've been fishing the Skyway since the 90's and I cant tell you how many times I've witnessed PEOPLE fishing illegally, keeping undersized or out of season fish and trashing the place. So anything is s step in the right direction.

    My little kids 5-8 use little sibiki to catch tiny green fish. Is that tiny 5 hook lure a no no now? my logic is saying yes. I'm hoping it's not.
  • Just came down to fish for 2 weeks....Been doing it for many years, Too bad. this is now my last trip

    The Pelicans hang out around the Pier cause the Angulars feed them a fish or two. If they stop feeding them maybe they'll go right back on the Jetties. And feed off the fish in the water.
  • @alow407
    So when the pelicans steal do we punish them😂
  • @coryhyatt2035
    If its the birds your concerned with. Why not make it a law to not feed the bird while fishing or around fishing areas. They hang out near humans because humans will throw them a freebie. I hate watching an angler feed the fish. They should know better. The multi hook thing is completely absurd!!!

    a real fisherman wouldn't complain about the rules, just be a better fisherman.

    Fishing on a pier in FL seagulls and pelicans were always a problem. But if you bring a dog with you they just fly by and look at the dog as they are leaving.

    Rules comes when people don’t follow non written rules for themselves
  • Annul education will be required ! Or it’s a second degree misdemeanor. Welcome to Florida from the wildlife gestapo , enjoy your stay or will fine you and give you a criminal record , ( up date - so you cannot use a fishing lure with treble hooks because of the one hook law from the leftest fishing gestapo )
