Rule

Summary

Starting in 2025, recreational fishers in the South Atlantic will have a shorter season to catch snowy grouper. This change helps keep the fish population healthy by preventing too many from being caught, just like in 2024. If you love fishing for snowy grouper, plan ahead because the season will close earlier than before!

South Atlantic Snowy Grouper Closure

If you fish for snowy grouper in South Atlantic Federal waters, your 2025 recreational season will be shorter because NMFS is closing the season earlier in 2025. The closure is an accountability measure to prevent landings from exceeding the recreational annual catch limit after overages occurred in 2024.
