DNR is seeking public input on a proposal to reduce Georgia’s recreational daily creel limit for red drum from five fish to three fish and adjust the slot size limit from 14–23 inches total length to 15–24 inches total length.
Registration is now open for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Coastal Resources Division (CRD) John Pafford Memorial Kids Fishing Event, scheduled for 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, June 13.
Georgia DNR’s Coastal Resources Division has launched GeorgiaRedSnapper.com, a new website providing anglers with information about Georgia’s July–August 2026 red snapper season. The site explains trip registration, mandatory catch reporting through the VESL app, regulations, participation requirements, and other resources supporting the Georgia Red Snapper Project.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to authority contained in O.C.G.A. §§ 12-2-24, 27-1-4 and 27-4-10, the Board of Natural Resources proposes to amend the Saltwater Fishing Regulations, Subject 391-2-4. The proposed amended Rule, when adopted, will decrease the Red Drum daily creel limit from five (5) fish to three (3) and increase the slot size limit from 14 - 23 inches Total Length (TL) to 15 - 24 inches Total Length (TL).
