Question about Regulations
Oct 7, 2019 12:06:45 #
So, I live in SouthEast GA, and we share a river with Florida. In fact most of our fishing we do tends to be on the Florida side unless we venture into the Atlantic. Lately the Reds have been biting more so I'm curious whose regulations I need to follow more. Florida regs for Reds are 18-27" 2 per harvester, 8 per vessel. Georgia regulations are 14-23" 5 per harvester.
If I'm in Florida fishing and have say 2 at 26" would I have trouble dealing with DNR when I'm bringing my boat back to the dock. I've only seen 'em at the dock once. I'm just curious if my FL fishing license paired with knowledge that FL is only 10mins away will be enough for DNR.. I ask bc now we are starting to see bigger red's caught 3 over 30" on Saturday, starting to get more difficult to get some even under 27 let alone under 23".

If you're bringing them to the dock in GA they better be legal in GA. DNR won't care which side of the river you caught them on

Some places carry over state lines but when returning to ramp must respect local area regulations.

Catching 'em too big is a happy complaint, I'm guessing!

If you tell them you caught them in Florida you better have a Florida license. However if you bring them back into Georgia you better a ha Georgia license and the fish need to be of legal size. You must obey Possession limits also.

States will have an agreement usually. Where I live, Wa and Oregon have an agreement for the Columbia where they each share a side.

Alabama and Georgia have a casual catch regulations. Where you put your boat in is the fish regulations.

Me thinks your best bet is to either contact Fish & Game in ur area, or, talk to tackle shop. Do not take any info u get here - most likely is bad and might cost you $$$$ in fines. Have fun, stay well and be safe out there.

Go on line and Google the DNR of both states and read their rules and regulations... Still if it is unclear to you call the toll free numbers and ask them the questions that you need for the answer...
