The Emergency Rule issued by NMFS was found to violate existing federal rules, so the judge in the case brought by TX and LA has struck it down.
Therefore, the snapper season for TX will be the full 28 days.  |

While I wish it were longer, that sure is better than 11 or whatever it was. Good news for Port A, South Padre, etc.

More follow-up.
Press Release: 6/7/13
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service yesterday announced a 28-day recreational red snapper fishing season in Gulf of Mexico federal waters. NMFS indicated it will publish a temporary rule in the federal register on June 10 to establish a Gulf-wide season closure at 12:01 a.m., June 29. This sets the end date for the red snapper season that started June 1.
The NMFS rule states "On May 31, 2013 the U.S. District Court for the southern district of Texas, Brownsville Division, set aside a March 25, 2013 emergency rule that gave the NMFS Regional Administrator the authority to close the recreational sector for red snapper in the [federal] EEZ off individual Gulf states. Therefore, NMFS adjusts the closure of the recreational sector for red snapper by closing the entire Gulf EEZ on June 29, 2013, instead of closing the EEZ on different days off individual Gulf states."
OH, SNAP!!!!! Take that THE red snapper fisherman.  |
