^^^^^^ This, Florida has some great resources, but horrible resource managers. From the water quality problems to forestry management, we need help. Rock Springs and Seminole Forrest have been destroyed by current managers. Seminole Forrest mgr wants to return it to 1700 era forest which was all pine and Rock Springs is managing for Scrub Jays. Well thats all fine except Timiquan and Alaqua Subdivisions were not there in 1700's and was all hardwood bottomland to provide food sources and cover for wildlife. Thats why I said I pray they listen to actual biologists who have solid research to back the plan and a solid plan going forward, not some kneejerk reaction. Last thing we need is to under harvest Crappie and have them become stunted from overpopulation. If sound management says reduce creel and slot them ok great, but make sure its right. But some reactions are reckless, a person fishing 1 a week or 2 times a month keeping a limit is doing no harm and less even than someone fishing 3 times a week and keeping 10 a trip. Back to biggest problem is people fishing and selling catch and repeat 2 times a day. Snowbirds coming down and going home with 2500 filets. Spend some time in campgrounds and you can see the abuse is evident. Why would someone from South Carolina stay at Monroe Park campground and have 2 chest freezers in his truck bed pulling in, 2 days later they are both on ground and plugged in. The snowbirds in Oak Hill fill freezers with shrimp and head home. Go down to Sebastian and they are loaded with Redfish, go to Northbeach and they are loaded with redfish and flounder. Go to Crescent and they are loaded with Crappie, go to Talquin and they are loaded with Crappie But the state has to catch them in transit home to enforce the possession law. In campground they are processed food. Raise out of state fishing license to match traveling states highest liscense rate for hunting or fishing. It costs almost $400.00 to hunt deer in South Carolina, make out of state fishing liscense for folks visiting from South Carolina $400.00 etc. Want a 3 day liscense to enjoy a short trip down, make that more affordable because they likely dont have a freezer to fill in 3 days or go home selling fish.
