Gulf red snapper season closes for charter boats and headboats
The 147-day federal for-hire red snapper season in the Gulf, 19 days longer than the season before, ends. Federally permitted charter boats and headboats then have a zero red snapper limit in state or federal waters, unless the season reopens because catch came in under target.
