Show Notes

Georgia fishermen, led by Russell Kent, are advocating for the reopening of red snapper season after nearly two decades of strict regulations. The Coastal Resources Division has proposed a pilot program allowing anglers to catch one red snapper per day for two months, from July to August. This move comes amidst debates over population growth and discard rates, with public comments largely supporting the plan. A decision is expected in May, potentially improving management for other coastal fish species.
