Snook season ending

The recreational harvest on snook ends Thursday, April 1.

Snook between 28 and 33 inches can be kept on this coast.

Snook season re-opens Sept. 1.

Snook, widely regarded as Florida's premiere game fish, are under strict regulations to help protect their populations. That said, Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute snook scientist Ron Taylor has recently said that snook populations are robust.

But don't expect any letting down on the regulations any time soon. The regulations on snook have steadily become tighter over the years, and although there have been talks from various FWC sources about possibly adding a month of open season, it could be at least a couple years.
