The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will make changes to snook, redfish and spotted seatrout management in the area of Southwest Florida where they are currently catch-and-release only.
As a reminder, snook, redfish and spotted seatrout were temporarily made catch-and-release only in the area after the fisheries were impacted by a 2017-19 severe red tide.
Starting June 1, the following changes will take place:
PASCO COUNTY, TAMPA BAY
– Normal regulations will resume for snook, redfish and spotted seatrout in all state waters in Pasco County, Pinellas County and Tampa Bay.
