2018 Destin Florida Red Snapper Season
2018 Destin Florida Red Snapper Season
Finally, the 2018 Florida Red Snapper Season is almost here, and aboard the charter boat Destination we couldn’t be more ready! We have certainly enjoyed some great Spring fishing catching lots of big triggerfish, plenty of vermillion snapper and even a few amberjack, but nothing says summer like KEEPING red snapper.
Florida Red Snapper Season for charter boats will be June 1st thru July 21st
There is generally a lot of confusion regarding red snapper season, and this year is no different. The States have taken over the regulation of red snapper for those recreational fishermen who fish aboard their own vessels, and each of the 5 gulf states has its’ own distinct season. However, all federally permitted charter boats like the Destination are still managed by the federal government and have the same season regardless of the state they call home. So, red snapper season will be 51 days beginning on June 1st and ending at midnight on July 21st if you are fishing aboard a federally permitted charter boat. The bag limit will remain at 2 fish per angler with a minimum size limit of 16 inches total length.
Make your reservation now
As you can see, red snapper season coincides with our busiest time of the year. This make it really important to plan ahead and reserve the day you would like to fish way in advance. We certainly recommend at least a 6 hour trip, and we offer morning and afternoon trips on most days. And Yes, we catch lots of fish on the afternoon trips too. So, if you would like to go deep sea fishing for red snapper at a time when you get to use your cooler just as much as your camera, then go ahead and make your reservation aboard the charter boat Destination.
