Recreational season for Gulf Red Snapper ends midnight

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council:

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council reminds anglers that the recreational season for Gulf red snapper in the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico will close at midnight, July 18, 2011. This closure was established to limit the harvest of red snapper in the Gulf and help rebuild overfished stocks so that anglers can enjoy better red snapper fishing in the future.

The recreational red snapper season, which is technically June 1 - September 30, has consistently closed early since it was established.
