The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has set the dates for this year’s recreational harvest season for red snapper in Gulf of Mexico state waters.
This year's recreational harvest season for red snapper in Gulf state waters will be open from June 1 through July 23. That’s 22 days shorter than last year's season, because of concerns of overfishing of the species.
Biologists say shortening the fishing season in Gulf state waters this year will help to avoid a harvest overrun and continue to rebuild red snapper populations so that longer red snapper fishing seasons will be possible in the future.
Florida state waters in the Gulf extend out to nine nautical miles from shore and federal waters extend beyond that line.
