Re: Red Snapper To Reopen In Gulf

They updated MyFWC:

http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/r...onal/snappers/

Quote:
Federal Regulations

Gulf red snapper: The recreational season in Gulf federal waters for private recreational anglers was open June 1-3 and will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays June 16 through Sept. 4, including Monday, July 3, Tuesday, July 4, and Monday, Sept. 4.
The season for federally permitted for-hire vessels is June 1-July 19.

Federally-permitted for-hire vessels can only fish for red snapper in Gulf state waters when both the state waters season and federally-permitted for-hire season overlaps.

State Regulations


Gulf red snapper: The recreational season is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from June 16 through Sept. 4, including July 3, 4, and Sept. 4. The season also remains open June 15 in state waters only.
State-permitted for-hire vessels can only fish for red snapper in state waters and only when the state waters season is open.

Re: Red Snapper To Reopen In Gulf

This is a very good compromise on both agencies part. Whatever pry bars were used to make it happen the guy who through up the idea for the split deserves a good portion of the credit.

I hope regulators take advantage of the 3 day windows to do surveys on how much and who are taking ARS. That would play huge into establishing better recreational TAC and when it would be reached. Very good news!

Re: Red Snapper To Reopen In Gulf

Atlantic red snapper are open year round in state waters but are closed in federal waters.

The regulations didn't change this time for Atlantic.
