BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD)— So who wants to go fishing for red snapper?

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is giving you the chance to do so starting this weekend.

LDWF said that recreational red snapper season is opening again between “12:01 a.m. on Friday, October 7, through to 11:59 p.m. Friday, October 14.”

Each angler will now be allowed to take home four fish.

This was made possible through a declaration signed by LDWF Secretary Jack Montoucet.
