Legal to take fish from Florida Keys with fishing license?

[Fishkeeper44]

Is it legal to take fish and coral from the florida keys with a fishing license? If so could they survive a 8-10 hour car ride with a airstone? Thanks.

I live in Chicago so I wouldn't know about your first question but most fish could survive that car ride, you might wanna prepare to loose a couple but most should make it fine

Looks like you need to get a license from Florida Wildlife Control

Yeah its legal with the license but here you gotta make sure they are the accepted size and you are only allowed a specific amount per person per trip.

A lot of the good collecting places in the Keys are in the marine sanctuary. Honestly, you can buy from the divers pretty cheaply, I would just do that.

How would one go about getting in contact with local divers?

Divertom and www.ccritters.com will both ship, and if you reach out to them you might be able to meet up in person if you're going to be down there.

Ccritters is currently not shipping due to family issues.

I have ordered from both and mysaltwater is better if you u want them now. Ccritters seahorses were outstanding but took 3-4 weeks before he shipped.
