The recreational harvest of flounder in all state and federal waters will reopen today, Dec. 1.
The minimum size limit for flounder is 14 inches total length and the daily recreational bag limit is five fish per person.
The annual season closure and other management measures were approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission last year because a stock status update suggested statewide that the flounder fishery has been in a declining trend and it is likely overfished and undergoing overfishing on the Atlantic coast.
