Commission adopts pier fishing rules, adds ban on chumming
Summary
Key Colony Beach commissioners unanimously adopted new fishing rules for the pier, including an explicit prohibition on chumming and a direction to pursue enforcement details and fines at a later date.
The Key Colony Beach City Commission unanimously adopted new fishing rules for Sunset Park pier on Sept. 18, including an added prohibition on chumming. Commissioner Tom DiFransico proposed the amendment to include the chumming ban and Commissioner Harding requested staff follow up on appropriate fines for violations.
Vice‑Mayor Doug Colonell read the recommended verbiage into the record and the amended motion passed by roll call. The rules respond to multiple citizen correspondences opposing fishing at Sunset Park and will be enforced under the city’s park rules and ordinances; the Commission asked staff to clarify fine amounts and enforcement procedures in a subsequent meeting.
