New regulations that could affect most area anglers are going into effect on Sunday morning. If you fish in saltwater on Florida’s Gulf coast you need to know the new rules requiring the use of specialized equipment. Many local anglers who fish only in inshore waters have assumed that they are not affected by the new rules, but this is not the case and anyone who wets a line in saltwater, even in inshore waters, could find themselves in violation of the new rules unless the correct gear is in use.
