    Castnet regulation questions

    Planning on being down in 2 weeks and would like to bring the castnet along for some bait.

    I am having a hard time finding the answers to all my questions about staying legal.

    As far as species of fish go I can keep anything that is not a game fish correct?

    As far as catching shrimp do I have to have the $16 license if I am on the shore?

    Any other things I should know about?

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Yes, you can keep any non-game fish species that are either unregulated or 'in season' within their specific creel & bag limits (this includes shrimp and crabs).

    That $16 license is for a recreational shrimp trawl.
    Your saltwater recreational license allows you to catch bait with a cast net (in legal areas).


    Check out the regs to answer other questions or call ALMR @ (251) 968-7576
