Is there going to be a gag season this year? Nothing on FWC website about one.
just went over to myfwc.com and looked up saltwater fishing regs and found that gag grouper, in my area… did have a short season this year - it ended yesterday… for those of us in the Everglades area… Now for the fun part… Pretty obvious that no consideration at all by regulators for my area. The only gag grouper we ever have won’t show up in our rivers until November… and they’re nor around at all once waters warm up. The current regs have meant that we have no season in my area that actually works for us these past few years… Always been that way for us, inshore grouper only come with colder water temps… Over many years I can also say that our inshore ones get up to about 30 inches (12lbs). Might be some bigger but we’ve never hooked up any that I know of…
Pretty obvious that the regs are meant for offshore grouper… and that’s that…
