Gag grouper season ends today

Gag grouper will close for recreational harvest in most Gulf of Mexico state waters beginning Wednesday.

The fishery will close on December 3rd, with the last day of harvest being December 2nd.

The closure won’t have much of an impact on our area as state waters off Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor counties have been closed since June 30th.

The closure is an effort to help rebuild gag grouper populations in the Gulf of Mexico back to strong sustainable levels. 


The fishery will reopen off Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor counties on April 1st and off the rest of Florida on July 1st.
