Florida Anglers Gain 14-Day Red Snapper Window as NOAA Approves Pilot

NOAA Fisheries has approved a revised permit allowing Florida anglers to catch red snapper for 14 consecutive days from October 9 to 22. This extended window applies to state and federal waters in the South Atlantic, marking a significant increase from the two-day season held last year. While the federal recreational season is limited to three days, exempted fishing permits for Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina enable the longer pilot period. Officials plan to review data from this October season to determine if a second season will be authorized in December 2026.

Anglers at Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida are frustrated by the robust shark population, which often preys on their catches before they can reel them in. Delph Fishing recently lost a potential world-record red snapper weighing 45 to 50 pounds to a shark. The fishing company expressed concern about the problem and called for a solution to the issue of shark predation, stating that the damage to fisheries is out of control.
