NOAA Fisheries Service reminds fishermen that the recreational fishing season for red snapper ends 12:01 a.m., local time, Monday, November 22, 2010. The 2011 red snapper season will open on June 1. NOAA Fisheries Service re-opened the 2010 recreational red snapper fishing season in the Gulf of Mexico for eight consecutive weekends beginning October 1, 2010, because projections indicated the recreational quota had not been caught because of fishing closures from the Deepwater Horizon/BP oil spill. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council recommended a weekend-only extension of the fishing season to provide fishermen the opportunity to harvest any remaining recreational red snapper quota, achieve optimum yield for the fishery, and enhance social and economic benefits to the fishery.
