THANK YOU for posting the new laws here.
all that above is the SAME as past, EXCEPT the size increased from 12" to 14".
i have fished Bays for 10 yrs in yak, and nearly 10 yrs before that, on rental skiffs, and the law was ALWAYS 12" for all Bass species, since i started fishing Bays.
i was completely ignorant of new change, but i NEVER keep bass, so luckily i was never violating any laws.
i C&R
all bass, for two reasons....
a. i feel Bass are being fished out everywhere, and i want to continue catching sizeable numbers whenever i go out.
b. i don't even think Bass are that good to eat, COMPARED TO....
Hali's, YT, WSB, Sheep, Lings, Reds, ALL Rockfish, etc.
these above are the fish that i keep & eat.
Bass should bite my lines at will... because they will ALWAYS be released.
