Effective July 1, 2011
Orange and Lochloosa Lakes-the number of bass longer than 24 inches total length that an angler may take is limited to one. Anglers are encouraged to use effective catch-and-release techniques to help extend the quality of this fishery. As before, all bass between 15 and 24 inches total length must be released immediately unharmed. Anglers are encouraged to harvest up to three (only two if one longer than 24 inches is also taken) bass shorter than 15 inches total length each day. This allows the larger fish to continue to grow quickly to trophy size due to less competition.
Smith Lake-Has been removed from the Fish Management Area system.
FWC Facts:

make the limit 12 inches................ then maybe in a few years it will help bring back some fish in that lake :( Im all for limits, the tighter the better!
I wouldn't mind seeing a 12" limit STATE WIDE!
I'm with you on that one....But I'd settle with a 10" limit on every lake in the Southeast:highfive..I read earlier about a lake going to an 8" limit...That just didn't make too much sense to me, but at least there is a limit now!!...Quality over quantity any day:cheers2Quote:

i totally agree with the 10" rule, in fact would like to see it go to 12" on heavy
pressured lakes, maybe also lowering the number of fish per person or group would
also help...........
