Freshwater Regulations
 

Jan. 1, 2008 – June 30, 2008 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

Special bag and length limits apply to some lakes, rivers and Fish Management Areas. Other fishes considered to be non game fishes have no daily bag or possession limits, except as noted in individual Fish Management Area regulations. (Note:  Total length is the maximum length of the fish, with the mouth closed and the tail fin pinched together. The best way to obtain this length is to push the fish's snout up against a vertical surface with the mouth closed and the fish laying along a tape measure, then pinch the tail fin closed and determine the total length. Do NOT pull a flexible tape measure along the curve of the fish.
5 Black bass (largemouth, Suwannee, redeye, spotted, and shoal bass, individually or in total), only one of which may be 22 inches or longer in total length.
--In south Florida: only one bass may be 14 inches in total length or longer.
--South and east of the Suwannee River: black bass less than 14 inches in total length must be released immediately.
--In the Suwannee River, areas north and west of the Suwannee River, and in any tributary river, creek or stream of the Suwannee River: black bass less than 12 inches in total length must be released immediately.

50 Panfish including bluegill, redear sunfish (shellcracker), flier, longear sunfish, mud sunfish, shadow bass, spotted sunfish (stumpknockers), warmouth and redbreast sunfish, individually or in total.

25 Black Crappie (speckled perch).

20 Striped bass, white bass, and sunshine bass (individually or in total), of which only 6 may be 24 inches or longer in total length.

  • In the Suwannee River, areas north and west of the Suwannee River, and in any tributary, creek or stream of the Suwannee River:  the daily bag limit for striped bass is 3, each of which must be at least 18 inches in total length (20 fish combined bag limit).

2 Butterfly peacock bass, only one of which may be 17 inches or longer in total length.

Possession limit is two days' bag limit. It is illegal to transport or possess more than two days' bag limit of fish per licensed angler without a commercial license. Exceptions are fish legally acquired from aqua-
culturists (fish farmers) for use in aquaria for brood stock, pond stocking or properly marked for the market.

(NOTE: It is illegal to possess grass carp or alligator gar without a permit.)
 

triploid grass carp Triploid grass carp are used for aquatic vegetation control and may not be
stocked or harvested without a permit. They grow to over 40 pounds.
alligator gar Alligator gar are found only in the panhandle rivers and grow to more than 120 pounds. Their gator like snout is distinct. Due to limited numbers, harvest is restricted.
