I hope they check with the FWC below is the link of want i coped and pasted here. Ken All waters from the Georgia/Florida state line, excluding the St. Johns River system, south through Volusia County from August 20-29* CLOSURE WAIVED FOR 2010 SEASON All waters of Brevard through Palm Beach counties, excluding the St. Johns River system, from August 10-19* CLOSURE WAIVED FOR 2010 SEASON All waters of Broward through Pasco Counties from July 10-19* CLOSURE WAIVED FOR 2010 SEASON All waters of Hernando through Wakulla counties including all waters of the Ochlockonee River and Bay, from July 20-29* CLOSURE WAIVED FOR 2010 SEASON All waters of Franklin County to the Florida/Alabama state line however, excluding all waters of the Ochlockonee River and Bay, from January 5-14 *The FWC has issued an executive order to waive the four blue crab trap harvest closures previously scheduled in July and August this year. The FWC is taking this action to help relieve possible economic hardships on fishing communities that may occur due to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. \ http://myfwc.com/RULESANDREGS/Saltwater_Regulations_recbluecrab.htm Ken in Sebastian

Posts: 7778 08/07/10 12:30 PM Captain USCG Licensed NEW SMYRNA DELTONA	Hi'ya Hornet, The verbage states, Hon': All waters from the Georgia/Florida state line, excluding the St. Johns River system, south through Volusia County from August 20-29* CLOSURE WAIVED FOR 2010 SEASON So, this may be the confusion...and it appears the excluded places are NOT waived ? This may be why they said trap removal for PONCE Area, it was excluded from waiver. WEBSITE T-SHIRT Store $UPPORT this site - BUY A SHIRT/CLICK HERE

But If i had a trap out I would pick it up because it may be picked up by mistake. I think they should have kept to the schedule but who Am I. It is better to be safe. Ken Ken in Sebastian

Posts: 7778 08/07/10 12:50 PM Captain USCG Licensed NEW SMYRNA DELTONA	I agree, this language is confusing and the News-Journal just published this trap closure. So, I will monitor this for a re-traction. I am sure they are getting a few voicemails today over this confusing article. Thanks Hon'! WEBSITE T-SHIRT Store $UPPORT this site - BUY A SHIRT/CLICK HERE

Sea Worthy Posts: 89 08/07/10 03:54 PM	I think that is the point Frankk They waved the closure this year but not in the st johns??? So if they go out and pick up traps they( MAY edit) be picking up legal traps. I am not putting out traps until after the normal closure for no one picks them up. Just to be safe.

They even got $3500.00 grant from Boats US to help fund the costs associated with materials and disposal. Sounds like it will benefit the area! They had a meeting already with volunteers on Aug 5, and it does not state if any other meetings are being held prior to the cleanup. If life is measured by family and friends, I am the wealthiest woman in the world!

Sea Worthy Posts: 89 08/08/10 07:57 AM	Thanks Frankk for the link, I think these are good things, but I worry that some legal traps will be picked up this year. They had a clean up here for the islands etc but I missed it being advertised, and I think the weather did not help. We try and pick up the small stuff when we are out. Ken Ken in Sebastian
