Florida temporarily bans catching of certain fish
TALLAHASSEE - The state has temporarily banned the catching of certain saltwater fish because the recent cold snap killed too many of them.
The state canceled the upcoming snook season and banned the catching of bonefish and tarpon until April.
The cold snap killed thousands of fish.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission Chairman Rodney Barreto called the ban "a proactive, precautionary approach." He said it is warranted to preserve the state's population of snook, bonefish
and tarpon, which are among Florida's most popular game fish species.
