@life_by_the_bow: Hand lining for hogfish in the Florida Keys is largely influenced by both regulatory requirements and habitat conditions. On deeper reefs, locating legal-sized fish consistently can be more challenging, while north of the Long Key Bridge, hogfish may not legally be speared within three miles of shore, significantly affecting where they are pursued. In these shallow patch reef environments, hand lining with a live crab is the preferred method, emphasizing a slow presentation, close proximity to structure, and a rapid retrieval once the fish commits. #FloridaKeys #OceanVibes #hogfish #diving
