The recreational harvest of flounder in all Florida state and federal waters will close on Saturday, October the 15th, and remain closed through November 30th.
The annual season closure was approved because a stock status update suggested that the flounder fishery statewide has been in a declining trend and is likely overfished and undergoing overfishing on the Atlantic coast of Florida.
The closed season will provide additional protection to vulnerable flounder during pre-spawning aggregations.
