FWC Modifies 2022 Blueline Tilefish Recreational Season for Atlantic State Waters 

At its May meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved a temporary modification to the 2022 recreational blueline tilefish season in Atlantic state waters. The 2022 recreational season for blueline tilefish will be open May 1 – July 25 in state waters, closing July 26.

Typically, the blueline tilefish season is open May 1 – Aug. 31 in Atlantic state and federal waters. However, NOAA Fisheries projects that the recreational catch limit will be met by July 26 and is closing the fishery to prevent overfishing from occurring.  Modifications to the recreational season in state waters is consistent with the recent changes in federal waters.

For current recreational blueline tilefish regulations, visit MyFWC.com/Marine and click on “Recreational Regulations” and “Blueline tilefish.” This page will be updated with the new regulations when they take effect.
