I was working aroos the street from the home of an EPO today. He was outside and we spoke about this. Per the Epo DISCARDING OF CARCASSES INTO THE WATER IS AGAINST THE LAW, SO IS FILETING BASS ON THE SHORE.
He stated that taking the fish back to your car, and fileting it there, and disposing of the rack in a waste recepticle is legal.

That just defies logic... especially regarding disposal of racks.... It also points out that the EPOs are just mixed up on this as we are. I hope the DMF can, once and for all, put forth a reasonable and clear ruling that will not have all these holes open for interpretation. |

Ross the logic lies in two things.
1. Your car is like your place of address, and if you are caught cheating they can take your vehicle. If you are not at your vehicle you could say you walked there.
2. Rack in the trash can is easy to retrieve unlike say a rack in the canal.
Just relaying what was told to me.

I don't understand the confusion about this law, It states;
4) Bass must be kept whole, with head, tail and body intact - no mutilation permitted (other than evisceration).
That means do not filet it until you get home,
I was also told that if you are staying on the beach in a camper you can filet it there because that is your residence at the time (NPS)
