Flounder recreational harvest season closes Oct. 15
The recreational harvest of flounder in all Florida state and federal waters will close Oct. 15 and remain closed through Nov. 30, reopening Dec. 1. This closed season provides protection to flounder during the time when pre-spawning aggregations form, which ensures more fish can reproduce each year.
