The bill S. 337 proposes an amendment to Section 50-13-640 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs the possession of blue catfish. The amendment establishes a daily limit of seventy-five blue catfish that can be taken from state waterways, excluding Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, and the upper reach of the Santee River, where the limit remains at twenty-five blue catfish per day.
This change aims to regulate blue catfish fishing more effectively in South Carolina's waterways, allowing for increased catch limits in most areas while maintaining stricter limits in specific locations known for their ecological significance. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
