We're in the process of shutting down the entire southern coast line of America.
AL, MS and AL are already closed in federal & state waters for any fishing/harvesting. The FL panhandle is next, likely followed by TX and eventually the entire west coast of FL.
Spear fishing tournament for me this weekend. May be canceled due to weather, or even by having the fishery closed. My guess is that we *may* get this weekend, possibly one more & it will be closed.
I'm about to turn 49. It's entirely possible that I may never again in my lifetime be allowed to take fish, lobster or anything else for consumption in the gulf again during my lifetime.
