update
For those who are still paying attention to the large area bottom closure, there is good news. The SAFMC delayed implementation of the closure for another 180 days beginning on Dec 4. They are awaiting the findings of new data which appears to be more consistent with what fisherman have been reporting regarding the red snapper stocks. Until further notice, red snapper is still closed to all harvest. Still not much motivation to fish between 1/1 and 5/1, when grouper is closed, though.
