The recreational harvest of greater amberjack in Gulf of Mexico state and federal waters closed on Nov. 1 and will remain closed through April 30. The season is scheduled to reopen May 1-31. The seasonal harvest closure is intended to help conserve the greater amberjack population and rebuild the fishery for the future.
