Snook to close in Gulf state and federal waters
Snook will close to all harvest in Gulf state, federal and inland waters, including all
of Monroe County and Everglades National Park, starting May 1. Seasonal harvest closures
conserve Florida s valuable snook populations and help sustain and improve the fishery for
the future. Snook is open to harvest in Atlantic state, federal and inland waters, including
Lake Okeechobee and the Kissimmee River, through May 31, closing June 1. Both the At-
lantic and Gulf will reopen for recreational harvest Sept. 1.
Snook are one of the many reasons Florida is the Fishing Capital of the World. Snook
may be caught and released during the closed season. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Con-
servation Commission (FWC) encourages anglers to handle their catch carefully to help the
fish survive upon release. Proper handling methods can help ensure the species abundance
for anglers today and generations to come.
