FWC proposed the following new regulations: - Establish an annual education requirement for anglers
- Prohibit the use of hook and line gear with more than one hook (e.g., sabiki rig, chicken rig, topwater plug) or any multiple hook (e.g., treble hook) from Nov. 15 through March 15 each year
- Limit anglers to using no more than two sets of hook and line fishing gear
- Review these regulations two years after implementation. Staff would monitor the effectiveness of these rules and report back to the Commission to inform any potential action two years after implementation.
Not sure how I feel about this. I wonder how many of the pelicans were hooked by inexperienced people fishing? I've fished my whole life and been around plenty of pelicans while doing it and never came close to hooking one. Only bird I hooked was a Cormorant that decided to eat my freelined bait. Oh well don't thing they are going to change their decision.

April through October, do the pelicans migrate back up north? Pretty sure it does have something to do with it. A lot more birds around here in the fall/winter.

Now that it's passed for one location, I can see future expansion being pushed. They always start out small with restrictions.
