Q.Fishing Regulations & Conservation
Are there size limits on redfish?
A.
Yes — most coastal states have redfish slot limits to protect juveniles and trophy breeders. Common slot ranges: 18-27 inches in many Gulf states, 18-23 inches in some Atlantic states, with regional variation. Bull reds (over the slot) must typically be released. Bag limits and slot specifics vary widely; check your state.
