The 2025 Red Snapper season will be open for 126 days, with different seasonal opportunities!

Red snapper are a widely distributed reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico, known for their longevity and early maturation. They can live up to 57 years. For the red snapper population to remain sustainable, it's crucial to have a large number of older, larger fish.

Here's why: older, larger female red snapper produce significantly more eggs than their younger, smaller counterparts. To put it in perspective, a single 24-inch female (approximately 8 years old) can produce as many eggs as 212 17-inch females (around 5 years old). Maximizing the number of these highly productive older fish is essential to ensure a healthy influx of young fish into the fishery.
