Gag grouper season in the Gulf has been announced. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (along with NOAA) has announced the following:
Beginning in 2024, the recreational fishing season will begin on September 1 and will close when NOAA Fisheries projects that the recreational ACT has been harvested. This change is projected to increase the length of the fishing season compared to a June 1 opening date, as fishing pressure is expected to be lower with a September 1 start date for the season.
There are a bunch of "gobbilty-gook" explanations of how they arrived at: Changes to Catch Levels, Sector Allocations, Recreational Accountability Measures, Recreational Fishing Season, and the Rebuilding Plan for Gulf of Mexico Gag. If you wish to know more...
