Recreational harvest of Gulf greater amberjack remains closed during May

Posted

As a friendly reminder for anglers, recreational harvest of greater amberjack remains closed May 1-31 in Gulf state waters. 

Last year, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued an executive order that modified the greater amberjack 2024-25 open recreational season in Gulf state waters to be closed during the May season.  This harvest closure is consistent with the closures in Gulf federal waters and is meant to reduce harvest and improve the stock. 

Recreational harvest of greater amberjack in Gulf state waters will remain closed from June 1 to July 31, as previously scheduled under the current season closure.

For current recreational amberjack regulations, visit MyFWC.com/Marine and click on “Recreational Regulations,” “Reef Fish” and “Amberjack.”
