Red snapper season closes July 17 in
Gulf Mexico red snapper recreationalwaters will close July
state, federal harvest season
The 2012 Gulf of
17 in state and federal waters; the last day of harvest is July 16.
This year s 46-day state season, which is the same as the 2012 federal recreational
red snapper season in the Gulf of Mexico, was set in May at a meeting of the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The season was extended at the end of
June, because bad weather led to decreased fishing opportunities. The season started June 1.
Florida state waters in the Gulf extend from shore to nine nautical miles; federal
waters extend beyond that line to 200 nautical miles.
This week's featured fishing photo is Chuck and Dave Clouse from Dunnellon with nice Red-
fish and 2 Large Trout caught on live Pinfish North of Yankeetown on the flats.
