The FWC has proposed new laws comming in to effect next year. I did not see anything against the landbased shark fisherman. The harvest of lemon, silky, sharpnose, and sandbar is prohibited. All other sharks must be 54" at the fork. Sounds good to me cause that puts a hurtin on the finning industry especially the sandbar. The sandbar fins are the highest grade. The only thing I do not like about it is the funding of the mexican finning fleet. I think the gulf of mexico will never be right because of the poor countries to the south. I wonder about alabama and georgia?
