Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to authority contained in O.C.G.A. §27-1-4, the Board of Natural Resources proposes to amend the Saltwater Fishing Regulations, Rule 391-2-4-.11. The proposed amended Rule, when adopted, will increase the number of bait minnow traps a licensed commercial bait dealer can fish at a given time. Currently licensed bait dealers are allowed to employ 10 or fewer traps at a given time; the requested change would increase the number of traps employed to 20 while not possessing more than 100 quarts of bait minnows at any time.
