Extend Florida's Red Snapper Season
5 hours ago
There is a meeting occurring as I type this with the Gulf Council. It appears that the Charter Boats are one step closer to getting a percentage of the private anglers TAC. This will enable a few individuals to get rich while taking a fish which belongs to everyone and making money off of it. This is turn will cause the private angler to be allowed to keep less snapper. It is also being discussed right now to have a 1 red snapper per person limit next season instead of the 2 we have had for years.
This also just in... Council just voted on triggerfish management changes. Amendment 37 will: Create a recreational closed season for June and July. Establish a recreational 2 fish bag limit. Give in-season closure authority to NOAA fisheries if the recreational ACT is met.

I wouldn't put it past them. I'm sure they would if they could. Ranaman sent me a video of the Alabama snapper fishery. I can't remember if it was posted here. The way the gather their info is bogus. If I knew how to take an email and put it up here I would.

Complete BS! Wish we wouldn't take the feds money and regulate our own fisheries like some of the other states.
I don't know when I'm gonna catch my next fish but I know when I do it's gonna be awesome!
