Red snapper season closes July 15th

The recreational red snapper season in Gulf state waters closes July 15th.

Florida state waters are from shore to 9 nautical miles.

Florida’s 52 day recreational red snapper season opened on June 1st.

The season in federal waters was only 10 days long this year and closed on June the 10th.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has scheduled a series of workshops for late July so the public can discuss state and federal management of recreational red snapper and to explore future approaches for managing this fishery.

One of the workshops will be held on July 31st at 6 PM at the Carrabelle Municipal complex.
