Louisiana Fishermen Get Snapper Limit Cut for 2025 Overcatch
Published Date: 5/6/2025
Rule
Summary
Fishermen in Louisiana who catch red snapper will face a smaller catch limit in 2025 because they caught too many in 2024. This new, lower limit helps protect red snapper and lasts until the end of 2025. So, anglers should plan their fishing trips carefully to stay within the new rules and keep the fish population healthy.

Louisiana Red Snapper Catch Cut
If you fish for red snapper in Louisiana federal waters, the state’s private angling annual catch limit (ACL) for 2025 has been reduced because reported landings in 2024 exceeded the ACL. The lower 2025 ACL applies through December 31, 2025, so anglers should plan trips to stay within the new limit.
