Starting Dec. 1, 2007, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission will temporarily enact the "no-harvest" rule on all black bass caught from Rodman Reservoir in both Putnam and Marion counties. The temporary restriction comes during the highly anticipated drawdown which leaves the bass are more concentrated.
The "no-harvest" rule will go into effect 12:01a Dec. 1, 2007 and ends 12:01a Apr. 2008. This is the current schedule for this restriction, however, the rule could be recinded if the current conditions change.
With a "no-harvest" rule in effect, all black bass caught at Rodmans Reservoir must immediately be released back into the water. This means, you cannot put them in a livewell and/or stringer with the intention of later returning it back to the water.
These new restrictions comes during the Rodman Reservoir Drawdown Project which is proposed to begin from November 2007 through March 2008. The drawdown is an anticipated event for many fisherman. With water levels are lowered, resulting in fish in a more concentrated area. With Rodman Reservoir labeled as one of the top ten fishing lakes in the nation, you can expect a lot of fisherman to be out fishing within the next couple of weeks.
