In 2023 you are allowed to keep two per person. The captain and crew are not allowed to keep any, so we can’t help you out bringing home more than your personal 2 per person limit.
What is the legal size for keeping red snapper?
Red snapper regulations state that the fish must be at a minimum of 16 inches in total length to keep.
Total Length is measured from the most forward point of the head, with the mouth closed, to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail pinched, while the fish is lying on its side.
