According to FWC reg's the limit to "Mangrove Snapper" i.e. Gray snapper is 5 per person per day included in the 10 per person aggragate bag limit.

Now Black Snapper (not Mangroves, but what we get up north here) is 10 per person per day and also included in the daily bag limit of 10 but have no size limit!?

So the question really is just what are you claiming to be a "GO" I see many black snappers in photos that are called "go's"..

Just looking for a forum ruling!

Federal bag limit is 10 per person, state (Florida) is 5 per person. I believe black, grey and mangroves are all the same fish. - a mango, go, grover, etc.

If you do all of your fishing in Federal Waters, then come straight back to your dock/ramp without stopping in State Waters, you are allowed to keep ten mangoes per person.
