Drag Nets

Question
I was wondering what the rules for pulling a drag net were for shrimp and bait fish by Cudjoe Key. Where I could purchase one. Someone also stated you had to have a green over white light displayed when dragging a net.If it is legal, what size mesh and max lenght and depth. Thanks Tassel

Answer
I have to admit that I know nothing about drag nets for Shrimp. You should be able to find what you need with the Florida Dept. of Fisheries.. ( I am assuming that Cudjoe Key is in Florida since all the Keys I have heard of are there..) Here is the link to the Saltwater Fishing Regs for Florida..  http://myfwc.com/marine/
If this does not do it for you let me know and I have some guys who are guides down there who may be able to answer this. I would have contacted them but it is late and I dont like to let questions sit.. sometimes folks need an answer.
