Spadefish creel limit
Am I correct that the daily limit is 20 since it is considered a reef fish?

I do not believe they fall under the Reef fish. The aggerate limits on reef fish are limited to the snapper, jack, trigger, tilefish and grouper families. The species guide on the reef regulations do not list them as reef fish.

I was going by the Marine resources Calendar
*** There is a twenty (20) fish aggregate creel limit for reef fish species for which there is no other creel limit.

AFAIK, they're not a listed Reef Fish Species, so they do not count towards any aggregate total or other creel limit.

***** There is a twenty (20) fish aggregate creel limit for reef fish species (for example, grunts, porgies, gray triggerfish, lane snapper, etc.) for which there is no other bag limit.Ragnar Benson:

No, there is no creel or size limit on spades, they aren't a reef fish.

Appreciate it. I haven't been down there at all this year.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
