New Fishing Regulations?
Are there any new federal or state laws/regulations starting in 2017 that affect local pier or surf fishing?

There are some changes listed in the Federal regs, but those would not affect the pier or shore fishing...

Haven't heard of any state reg changes.

The Feds did that in the Georgia to New York fisheries on January 24 or about. Last year a few States didn't follow their recommendations for closing it in state waters,So that's why I think they did so early this year,to given themselves more time to retaliate. NOAA has a agenda and recreational fishing isn't one of them

If I remember correctly, the push for a cobia closure is coming from recreational fisherman.

I'd be in favor of it, even though I no longer fish for the cobia. The poor things could use a rest and a chance to repopulate. It would be real hard to see one and not throw on her, though.
