A Win For Red Snapper Fishermen

Recreational red snapper fishing is important to the economy of Gulf Coast towns and the many people who enjoy fishing. Earlier this year, the recreational red snapper fishing season was limited to a mere three days, prompting several of my colleagues and me, including Whip Steve Scalise, to enter negotiations with the Department of Commerce to open the federal season for more days.

Last week, the Department of Commerce announced the federal red snapper season will now be extended to Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through Labor Day. The 3rd and 4th of July will also be recreational red snapper days. This is a huge win for recreational fishermen in the 27th District of Texas and across the Gulf States.
