The recreational harvest of gray triggerfish will close in Gulf state waters on January 1, 2024. Harvest will open on March 1, 2024.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), it is committed to collecting critical recreational harvest fishing data to inform the management of popular reef fish, including gray triggerfish.

The State Reef Fish Survey provides the FWC with a clearer picture of stock health, so please ensure you are signed up as a State Reef Fish Angler, the FWC said.

This annual designation is required for recreational anglers and spearfishers who intend to fish for or harvest certain reef fish species from a private vessel in Florida. To learn more about the State Reef Fish Survey, visit MyFWC.com/SRFS.
