Gag grouper recreational harvest opend in
most Gulf waters, closed in 4-county region
Gag grouper will open for recreational harvest in most Gulf of Mexico state waters
and all Gulf federal waters July 1. The same day, the season will close in state waters off the
coast of Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor counties. The FWC manages marine fish
from the shore to 9 nautical miles in the Gulf of Mexico.
The gag grouper recreational harvest season in Gulf of Mexico state waters, not including
Franklin, Jefferson, Wakulla and Taylor counties, will remain open through Dec. 3, closing
Dec. 4.
State waters off Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor counties were open from
April 1 through June 30 and will not be open during the July 1-through-Dec. 3 season. The
four-county region includes all waters of Apalachicola Bay and Indian Pass, including those
in Gulf County, and all waters of the Steinhatchee River, including those in Dixie County.
Regional seasons such as these provide additional fishing opportunities and access while
continuing to rebuild the gag grouper population to sustainable levels.
Monroe County is also excluded from this season because it follows the Atlantic
season for gag grouper.
In state and federal Gulf waters, the gag grouper recreational harvest minimum size
limit is 22 inches total length and the daily bag limit is two gag grouper per person within
