It’s the shortest federal Red Snapper Season ever.
This season, recreational Red Snapper fishing in federal waters are only open from June first through June 3rd. Federal waters for Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama begins three miles from shore to 200 miles offshore. For Texas and Florida, federal waters are thought beyond 9 miles offshore. Recreational anglers and charters continue to be restricted to two Red Snapper per angler, at least of 16″ long.
In comparison, the Commercial fishing season of Red Snapper is placed at 49 days.Many anglers are extremely unhappy with this particular and say there are a good amount of Red Snapper to the stage it’s difficult to catch other species. It’s a highly contended subject over the Gulf the months are over-controlled.

Based on NOAA Fisheries, private boat anglers are permitted just a little over 3 million pounds of red snapper in 2017, which 2010 very short recreational months are due partly to an excessive amount of almost 130,000 pounds caught in 2016, hence they are reducing this season with that sum.
