Al. red snapper season remains open daily ‘til quota is met

At least as of Sept. 13, the Alabama red snapper season was still open seven days a week, as the private angler quota of 664,552 pounds is met. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will announce a season closure date when the 2025 quota is anticipated to be met. ADCNR uses Snapper Check to monitor shore, private vessel and state charter angler landings during the season. Weekly landings updates are available at outdooralabama.com/2025-red-snapper-landings-summary.
Alabama’s red snapper season applies to anglers fishing from shore, private recreational vessels and state-licensed Alabama commercial party boats in Alabama state waters and federal waters that do not hold federal for-hire fishing permits.
