GULF RED SNAPPER SPORT-FISHING SEASON SET TO CLOSE
CONTACT: Lee Schlesinger (850) 487-0554

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reminds anglers that the recreational red snapper fishing season in all Gulf of Mexico waters will close Nov. 1. This closure occurs each year to help rebuild overfished red snapper stocks in the Gulf.

In Gulf state waters, the recreational harvest and possession of red snapper is prohibited Nov. 1 through April 14. However, while the recreational red snapper fishery in Gulf federal waters also closes on Nov. 1, the Gulf federal waters fishery does not reopen to recreational harvest until April 21.

Florida state waters extend 9 nautical miles offshore in the Gulf, and federal waters extend beyond state waters.
