Florida Slashes AJ Season In State Waters

At its July meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued an executive order to close recreational harvest of greater amberjack in state waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The season, which previously ran from Aug. 1 through Oct. 31, has been cut to just 25 days from Aug. 1 through Aug. 25. The shortened season is consistent with the Gulf federal season.
