I spend a lot of time bass fishing in Jax. I've concentrated mainly on local ponds and the occasional golf course. :)

Red grouper, Gag Grouper, and Black Grouper harvests will be prohibited in the Gulf of Mexico federal waters from February 15 until March 15. This closing applies to both the recreational and commercial harvest of these fish. Federal waters extend beyond 9 nautical miles offshore of Florida in the Gulf.

Commercial harvest of these fish in Gulf stat waters (inside the 9 nautical mile line) is also prohibited during this period. However, the recreated harvest will still be allowed in Gulf state waters, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, under the existing bag and size limits.

For further information, contact Lee Schlesinger (850-487-0554) at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
