Red snapper season extended till Sunday

NOAA Fisheries is extending the red snapper recreational fishing season in the Gulf of Mexico by two days.

The federal agency said the extension was requested by fishermen and officials because of the impacts of Tropical Storm Colin.

The recreational red snapper fishing season was scheduled to close at 12:01 a.m. (local time) on Friday June 10, 2016.

NOAA Fisheries is extending the federal season for two additional days; the private angler red snapper federal season will now close at 12:01 a.m. (local time) Sunday, June 12, 2016.

The red snapper season in Florida state waters is considerably longer than the federal season.
Fishermen can take red snapper in Florida state waters for 78 days this year.
Florida’s season is currently open continuously through July 10th.

The season will also be open on weekends through September and October.
