Florida considers catch and release for bonefish
Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 10:30AM 
Bonefish would become a catch-and-release species protected from harvest under a draft rule reaching state fishery managers Feb. 23.
The FWC board will hear a presentation on the draft rule at its Feb. 23 meeting in Apalachicola. If given tentative approval, the no-take rule would be considered for final approval in April.

Catch and relese for bones! This SUCKS!
Sincerely,
Guys who eat Carp.
Except a really big one once, I never kept one. Never eaten one, they are call bone fish for a reason.
Put one in freezer for one week to show my friends because he was huge and no one would believe. Felt like shit for doing that, but I was young and stupid. Bonefish, little race cars. No need to do anything but catch, enjoy and release their happy butts.
It is about time, what is the actual purpose of anyone in Florida keeping bones? When can we expect the same for tarpon?
