In part it says:
Cast Nets, Dip Nets, Bait Seines:
A recreational angler may use dip nets,
bait seines, and cast nets not to exceed
8.5 feet in radius, but shall not take at
anytime more than 50 pounds of
shrimp during closed season and 100
pounds of shrimp per day during the
open season, in the aggregate, per day
per boat or vehicle, regardless of the
number of persons thereon, provided
the shrimp taken are used for bait or
for the fisherman’s own consumption
and are not sold, traded or otherwise
permitted to enter into commerce.
Certain WMAs and state or federal
refuges may have different rules, consult
local LDWF office or
Enforcement Agent for specifics.
