I bought my Condi Cavalier rodeo ticket this morning, and the guy in Boaters World told me that red snapper would be a catagory again.  It had been removed from the list, but now they replaced it.  So now can we catch snapper outside the 3 miles and just bring them in thru alabama, or is it only open in alabama waters? and when does it close now?

alabama red snapper season is open in state waters only...

Red Snapper Season Extended in State Waters

July 07, 2008

 
 
Governor Bob Riley has extended red snapper season within Alabama’s jurisdictional waters through October 31, 2008.
 
After discussion with Conservation Commissioner Barnett Lawley, Riley cited the inconsistency of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to force compliance with the federal regulations regarding red snapper in Florida and Texas. Texas has a year-round season for its states waters with a four-fish bag limit with a minimum length of 15 inches, while Florida has an April 15 through Oct. 31, 2008 season with a two-fish bag limit with a minimum length of 16 inches
