Greater Amberjack and Flounder Season Reminders

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ (ADCNR) Marine Resources Division (MRD) reminds anglers that the recreational harvest of greater amberjack in federal and Alabama state waters closes November 1, 2022.

Anglers landing red snapper, greater amberjack and gray triggerfish in Alabama are required to report their catch through Alabama’s Snapper Check system. 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 each year, in order to protect the spawning aggregation of flounder during this critical time of year.

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama’s natural resources through four divisions: Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

Can't say for Alabama's gulf coast, but
used to be out off the Texas gulf, there'd
be a bunch of foreign fish boats and
shrimpers raking in the bounty, while
the sport fishermen that paid the fees
had to bite their lip and release any
fish out of season.
Kinda like how much of the United States
has stringent emission standards and
inspections for our industries and
vehicles, while places like india and
latin america and the far east spew
pollution as much or more than we
ever did here
