Senator Joe Negron has introduced senate bill #744 that states "a recreational freshwater or saltwater fishing license or permit is not required of any resident or non resident to fish in this state." This bill if passed would go into effect in July 2011.
What is your favorite lure/bait for Florida Redfish? I'll start it off, I like to use a 1/4 oz weedless gold spoon, easy to use and produces great results.
Blue crabs are the bait of choice for many Florida anglers targeting Tarpon, Black Drum and other Florida species. Blue crabs can be rigged cut in half or whole.
A live shrimp and a jighead can be deadly on many Florida inshore species when used in the right situation. These rigs are used when strong current is present or when wanting to fish a live shrimp like an artificial lure by bouncing it along the bottom.
Fiddler crabs are great bait for many Florida fish but most widely used to catch sheepshead. A small hook is needed when using these small crabs as bait, a size 1 - 1/0 is best for this.
