May 1, 2018 — The following was release by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council:
Spring is in the air – and that means fishing! Beginning tomorrow, May 1st, fishermen will have a few more species to target in federal waters in the South Atlantic region (greater than 3 miles off the coasts of NC, SC, GA and the East Coast of FL). May 1st marks the beginning of the shallow-water grouper season, with an annual spawning season closure in effect from January 1st through April 30th. Regulations also change for red porgy, greater amberjack, snowy grouper, and several other species.
