We have some big news coming out of the Gulf of Mexico Fisheries Management.
NOAA fisheries has not yet made a rule for the September through October AmberJack season.
BUT; we have left over QUOTA from last August's short season. Because of this AmberJack will be open May 1st, and should remain open through the month of May!

We have received some news from the Gulf Of Mexico Fisheries Management Council just now...
Red Grouper will close in the Gulf of Mexico on June 30th.
As we know, we we're expecting this closure to take place, and a continuation through June is actually a decent season!
There will be a chance to re-open in the late fall depending on catch limits!
We also expect to hear from the Council on Gag Grouper in the next day or two, so standby on that!
