The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says the red snapper season will stay open in the Gulf of Mexico for an extra seven days this month. Those days are Saturday and Sunday November 5^th and 6^th – Friday and Saturday, November 11^th and 12^th – and Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 25^th, 26th and 27^th. The extension includes the Veteran’s Day holiday and Thanksgiving weekend. Governor Rick Scott requested the extension to offset the economic impacts of Hurricane Hermine which hit the Gulf in early September.
