Modify current policies to further restrict tournaments in summer or those with a history of poor post tournament survival of released bass.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission should work with local chambers of commerce and tourism groups to encourage bass tournaments and create suitable facilities.
Continue current policies allowing ramps to be scheduled for tournaments, while attempting to always ensure some public access, and allowing size limit exemptions in return for releasing or donating (in the case of dead or morbid fish) all fish and prohibiting tournament anglers to keep even their legal bag limit.
Tournaments should receive no special preferences including priority use of public ramps or temporary exemptions to bass size limits.
