I talked to a friend in south florida. there been a big winter fishkill. I guess they want to protect the fish that made it through that weather, and give them a chance to spawn. I know that the Peacock bass must of took a big hit. This happend with peacock bass before. all those canal in Palm county, and northern broward might of lost most of there population of Peacocks, I'm going by pass history it might not be fact this time around. I will check. I checked some of the forums it seems there were big fish kills of snook, tarpon, and bonefish. They even had thousands of immature turtles die off.
