Three years ago in 2012 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission created a drastic yet beneficial measure that guaranteed the robust population of Centropomus undecimalis, colloquially known as Snook, off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The Commission closed the entire gulf to any form of Snook fishing activity…
