Even then, I didn't find anything to preclude occasional eating of bass other than, perhaps, those caught in the Everglades. Since your reference fishing in Miami, perhaps your information is more localized to South Florida.
Do you have a particular resource we might read?

On a related subject, how's the fishing in Lake Panasoffkee?

Carl, thanks, it is Mercury ( senior moment). No I don't have a current source but this has been well publicized for many years. At one Time it was even part of the annual fish and game reports and yearly published regulations. I think it has to do mostly with runoff and was primarily geared towards children. I noticed a distinct difference in taste over the years too. Used to be nothing better than Okeechobee catfish and speckled perch.
