Barracuda don't get the attention of bonefish or tarpon when it comes to flats fishing, but that's changing --- for all the wrong reasons.
The Lower Keys Guides Association has asked the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to grant the popular predator gamefish status, a designation that would eliminate the commercial harvest of the fish. The LKGA says that barracuda, because of their unregulated status, have been over-harvested by commercial fishermen. I'll have a story in the summer issue of The Drake. Below is a bit of info on the issue.
