Final Louisiana Red Snapper Landing Estimates for 2025

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries estimates that 947,103 pounds of Red Snapper were landed during the 2025 private recreational season.  These landings were 5.8% above our 894,955-pound Louisiana allocation (the 2025 allocation of 894,955 pounds included a payback of 39,632 pounds from the overage in 2024).  Therefore, Louisiana’s allocation in 2026 will be 891,439 pounds (LA Allocation of 943,587 pounds minus the overage of 52,148 pounds from 2025).

Anglers were able to fish Red Snapper for 200 days (May 1 through November 16) during the 2025 season in Louisiana. The 2026 Red Snapper season will be set at a future Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission meeting.

“We could not be happier about how this year’s red snapper season turned out,” said Secretary Tyler Bosworth. “We would like to thank all offshore anglers in Louisiana who have actively contributed to conservation and a very successful red snapper season by participating in the LA Creel process. We are looking forward to continuing this success in 2026.”
