Federal Red Snapper Season Opens May 22
· Texas Border Business
The federal red snapper season for private recreational anglers will begin on May 22, earlier than the usual June 1 start date. This adjustment aims to extend the fishing period for saltwater enthusiasts and coincide with the Memorial Day holiday. Robin Riechers, Director of the Coastal Fisheries Division at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, emphasized the goal of maximizing fishing days in federal waters while maintaining year-round fishing in state waters. Regulations remain unchanged, allowing two red snapper per person per day in federal waters, with a minimum size limit of 16 inches. In state waters, the limit is four fish per person with a 15-inch minimum size.
