Destin Fishing Notes Weather Changes Impact King Mackerel
State officials weigh a challenge to purse seine use in state waters while NMFS imposes a 33 inch minimum on cobia and recreational catches near 28 million pounds. Destin skippers fear purse seiners could cut King Mackerel catches during the season as a new IFGA record listing adds Spanish Mackerel and two other species. Local captains tag Kings to study movement along the Louisiana coast with 300 fish marked in January.
