Louisiana expands red snapper limits for Fourth of July weekend

Louisiana temporarily increased the red snapper daily catch limit from four to five fish per person for the Fourth of July weekend to encourage outdoor celebration of the U.S. 250th anniversary. The adjustment applies to state coastal waters, with size restrictions requiring fish to be at least 16 inches. Louisiana manages its own red snapper fishing since 2019, with this year's recreational catch limit set at 882,000 pounds.
