This summer a fall red snapper season seemed stuck in limbo, but starting at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico will open for red snapper recreational fishing. The season will close on October 15, at 12:01 a.m., local time. NOAA Fisheries also increased the allowable catch for red snapper from 8.46 million pounds (mp) to 11 mp. The recreational quota will increase from 4.145 mp to 5.39 mp. The commercial quota will increase from 4.315 mp to 5.61 mp. There is a two-fish, per person, per day limit during the fall season. More
