The fishery opens to private anglers at 12 a.m. Friday morning, May 26, 2023. It will be open each Friday through Monday until the quota is met.
It’s the weekend anglers along the Alabama coast have been waiting for. Red snapper is a highly sought-after reef fish that has also become highly regulated in recent years. Shorter seasons and smaller catch limits have been a trend. Even though gulf states now set their own season dates, the feds regulate the stock and set the quota allowed each year.
“And so, there is a difference, and they call it trying to match currency to bring the two numbers together, so we fought it for a while. We had delayed implementation until January of 2023, and we had anticipated a new stock assessment to be done and we would make some adjustments to the quota based on the stock assessment, but the stock assessment is a little bit behind,” Bannon explained.
While the politics that is the red snapper fishery gets hashed out, anglers are just ready for the season to get here. J & M Tackle in Orange Beach has been a busy place.
