The state of Florida panhandle waterways

Across the state of Florida, our waterways are being impacted by a host of issues: rising temperatures, pollution, and development, among others. But some areas are feeling it more than most. Reporter Sophia Hernandez and photojournalist Antony Sherrod traveled across the state for a special series of reports we are calling "The State of our Seas." In Wakulla County, we find Saint Marks, Florida, a small town made up of mostly bodies of water. It’s home to a marina called Shields Marina, and it’s there that the team meets with Dustin Antrobus with Fysh and Hunter Charters.

So its bad that everyone limits out on trout every day and they're declining, but its also bad he can only keep a few Red snapper. Sorry you can't make a living slaughtering fish every single day and loading the yeti. Gonna have to educate the customers on catch and release or you'll all be out of work soon across the whole state.

Unfortunately most people who now live in Florida aren't from here and they can care less about preserving what has made the state great.

Go charter fishing and see how into conservation they are. Every one i've been with keeps killing fish even after I say I have enough. One kept 30 spanish mackeral, another kept 12 trout, a snook, redfish, he even killed a Permit and laughed when I wanted to release it.
