@MyFWC #Florida #fishing  Recreational harvest of snook in Atlantic state and federal waters
closes June 1 

The recreational harvest of snook in Atlantic state and federal waters will close June 1 and will reopen
on Sept. 1, 2023. This seasonal harvest closure occurs during peak snook spawning in the Atlantic and
is a management tool that helps to conserve Florida’s prized snook populations for anglers today and for
generations to come.

If you are interested in the future of snook management in Florida, the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) would like to hear from you. The FWC is considering a holistic
management approach for snook that includes a review of several environmental and human
factors, such as habitat, fishing effort and stakeholder feedback, to evaluate the fishery on a more
local scale. Annual Reviews for each proposed management region can be found by visiting
MyFWC.com/Marine and selecting “Snook.” Tell us your thoughts about the snook fishery and
proposed regulations by submitting a comment online at MyFWC.com/SaltwaterComments. Keep
up to date with saltwater and freshwater fishing regulations on your phone with the Fish Rules App
and follow Instagram.com/FishRulesApp or Facebook.com/FishRulesApp.
