The Marine Resources Division (MRD) of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) reminds anglers that the recreational harvest of greater amberjack in federal and Alabama state waters closes November 1, 2024.

Anglers landing red snapper, greater amberjack and gray triggerfish in Alabama are required to report their catch through Alabama’s Snapper Check system. Red snapper season is currently open for 4-day weekends until the federal harvest limit of 659,654 pounds has been met. Triggerfish season closes December 31, 2024. For more information about Snapper Check, visit www.outdooralabama.com/mrd-fisheries-section/red-snapper-faqs.

The recreational and commercial harvest of flounder is closed from November 1 through November 30 annually to protect the spawning aggregation of flounder during this critical time of year.
