TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Grab your rod and reel! The Gulf red snapper fishing season has been extended by Florida Fish and Wildlife.
Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Fish and Wildlife announced that additional dates will include November 21, 22, 27, 28, and 29.
During this season, private recreational anglers may harvest red snapper in Gulf state and federal waters. However, state for-hire operations are limited to fishing for red snapper in Gulf state waters only.
“Saturday, Nov. 28 is also a saltwater license-free fishing day, a great time for Florida’s residents and visitors to try out fishing in Florida without needing a license,” said FWC Executive Director Eric Sutton.
