I just canceled my trip that I was going to do tomorrow. I was going to go out in the 2-4 forecast because of the last day of federal snapper season. But now the forecast is calling for 4-6'. Not going out in that for sure.

| That is because of the Depression off Louisiana. I hope it lays down for Wednesday.

| 12:01 AM on the 5th of August 2008. This from the latest bulletin quoted below: NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries Service) announces the recreational fishery for red snapper in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico will close effective 12:01 a.m. local time August 5, 2008, through December 31, 2008, the end of the current fishing year. The recreational fishery in federal waters will reopen on June 1, 2009, the beginning of the 2009 federal recreational fishing season. NOAA Fisheries Service has determined this action is necessary to prevent overfishing and to keep the recreational fishery from exceeding its quota during the 2008 fishing year.

| I am new to snapper fishing so bear with me. You can still fish for red snapper until Sept 30 in FL waters which is what, 9 miles? I have never really paid attention to the regs, because I never had a boat, so ne need to know the state/fed line and never looked at the season end because I never fished FL after July. I'll be coming down the 22-24 and have some #'s that are 5-7 miles off shore. I'm still good right? And there is no season on the other snappers, just reds. Is that correct?
