The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is reminding anglers of the ongoing recreational harvest closure of greater amberjack in Gulf state waters from May 1-31. This closure was established in an executive order last year and remains consistent with the federal waters’ closure. The measure aims to reduce catches and enhance stock recovery.
Additionally, the closure for greater amberjack will extend from June 1 to July 31 as previously scheduled. Interested individuals can review current amberjack recreational regulations at MyFWC.com/Marine under the sections “Recreational Regulations,” “Reef Fish,” and “Amberjack.”
