Usually the Friday before Memorial Day

Was down in Venice this past Friday, and the snapper were thick. Definitely wished we could have brought some home with us.

It’s always open, unless you in Texas then that lil fricker crime that reality show will ride around all day looking to busy you while his kids rape the snapper.

Im hearing a rumor that it will start later this year like mid June Sat and Sunday only but open through Labor Day all Federal/state waters.

IF... all gulf states agree on the same season. Would also allow for a fall season if the quota isn't reached.

Some typos make it a little tricky to follow, but if I follow, there is reality show about the Texas FWP - he's saying the season is always "open", but those dudes are going to try and bust you... not sure about the kids raping snapper... meth is a hell of a drug.

Thats the for hire sector. So yes if you are taking a charter. If you are going on your own boat recreationally that does not apply

Mississippi’s 2019 Red Snapper Season will open Friday, May 24

BILOXI, Miss. – The Executive Director for the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the Commission on Marine Resources announced Friday that Mississippi’s Red Snapper season will open for private recreational anglers and state for-hire vessels on Friday, May 24, 2019. Private recreational anglers can fish out to 200 nautical miles; however, vessels with state for-hire permits are restricted to state territorial waters extending nine nautical miles from the barrier islands.

The season will be open seven days a week and is scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. on May 24. It will run through September 2 at 11:59 p.m. with a mid-season closure from July 8– 28. This closure will help ensure the state’s annual quota is not met before Labor Day and will allow MDMR staff to analyze all data from the first segment of the season.

Due to an increase in the Gulf annual catch limit (ACL), Mississippi’s quota this year is 151,584 pounds, with the quota for private recreational fishermen set at 148,507 pounds and the state for-hire quota set at 3,077 pounds. However, to account for the overage by the state for-hire vessels in 2018, the state for-hire allocation is 2,642 pounds. MDMR will manage each group’s allotment individually.
