The temporary Florida closure of recreational harvest of bonefish and tarpon is set to expire shortly.

Even though the FWC is again allowing the harvest of bonefish and tarpon, the agency encourages anglers to enjoy catching and releasing these important Florida game fish species and to handle and release these fish carefully to help ensure their survival.
