Sadly the red snapper limit is two per person. The minimum size is 16". I seriously doubt Outcast will have their king mack tourney this year. Last year they canceled it. I know there is another tourney coming up for king mackeral soon. But this one is for a cape horn boat. Outcasts tourney was for a contender. I think the entry fee is 450. We may fish that tourney but i'm in the same boat as you are when it comes to money. We're planning to fish the orange beach red snapper tourney in august too.

Min size for recreational fishermen is 16", 13" for commercial. And old CRABTREE's reasoning for the pathetic ARS season is because FLORIDA and TEXAS didn't accept his rules, so he shortened the season even MORE! Not to mention recs get a 2 month season in federal waters to catch a fish that has become so plentiful it is a nuisance eating up your baits before they can get near the bottom. Yet the commercials can cath them year round until they meet there quota of a public resource that they BOUGHT!


Just wait, CRABTREE wants to do the same thing with GROUPER.

Why dont they just close red snapper season to EVERYONE. Thats that we have to throw back snapper that are 1/2 inch too small most of the time and now they even fked up the season even more than it was already fked up. We spent alot of money for six red snapper.

Hang on to your but even tighter. The state of FLORIDA is probably going to reduce the season to match that of the GULF COUNCIL when the JULY updates come out. CRABTREE said we had to match them or else he will shorten the federal season even more next year.

They just need to leave crap alone in my opinion, all the factors combined together, (gas, limits, bait, etc) are making fishing NOT FUN AND ENJOYABLE! I need to take the V-20 off my signature but really dont want to.

Yep....its only getting less fun and more expensive.


Thats why I dumped the V20, stuck with the 18 and more inshore fishing.

I can bring home more meat(a mess of specks, flounder and reds) for WAAAAAY less $$ by sticking to inshore.
