Re: Question on Recreational Grouper fishing out of Texas Jimmy: Let me clarify, as I believe I misread your interpretation. ALL shallow-water grouper are closed from 2/1 through 3/31 (red, gag, black, yellowfin, scap, yellowmouth, rock hind and red hind). The area closure ( NE=28°51'N, 85° 04'W - SW=28°14'N, 84° 54'W - SE=28° 14'N, 84° 42'W) from 1/1 through 4/30 is closed to all fishing. I hope this helps. Charxxxx
__________________ Me and my Wife would rather be fish'n THIS IS WHAT THEY WROTE ME BACK: I bold'd the main part Thu 2/18/2010 1:15 PM GulfCouncil [GulfCouncil@gulfcouncil.org] No – what are considered shallow-water grouper are red, gag, black, yellowfin, scamp, yellowmouth, rock hind and red hind, regardless of whether they are caught in shallow or deep water. (Shallow-water is a classification) Federal rules apply if you are nine miles or more offshore for Texas and Florida, and three miles offshore for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. If you will be fishing inside of nine miles, you should check regulations for the state of Texas. Charxxxx**********************************************
So what does all this and previous pages, messages, emails mean?
Looks to me that its illegal to bring home to eat any of the listed shallow water groupers (red, gag, black, yellowfin, scamp, yellowmouth, rock hind and red hind) till April 1.
I'm just trying to help us understand... hope yall understand that. Be sure and tell your fishing buddies so they wont be illegal bringin the wrong grouper in..
