Federal Red Snapper Season

cptskinny · 07-05-2008, 09:54 AM

I was not aware of the August 5 closure in Federal Waters. My recent Florida Sportsman mentioned it and I then researched it on line. Seems since Texas and Florida ignored the Federal Guidlines, the total allowable catch will be taken by August 5. (Interesting how they figured that one out). Am I the only one who wasn't aware of this?

You must be, It was discussed on here almost every day since Jan to June 1 when it opened.

Yeah, you missed it. As a note, Alabama has just extended their season on snapper.

Source of article about Alabama season is in this post http://www.pensacolafishingforum.com...38198-2-1.aspx

Looks pretty reliable to me. The web master of the Alabama web site was like you and I and read about the change in the newspaper.
