xCruzo Brief
The 2026 Gulf red snapper season off Florida closes on October 25, and Kelley Girl Charters says it can keep fishing for its guests through that federal deadline. The Panama City Beach–based family charter operator holds a federal reef fish permit, letting it follow the federal season schedule rather than the tighter state-only windows some smaller operators face. Florida’s red snapper season reopens September 1 for a limited fall period. Kelley Girl Charters runs minimum six-hour bottom-fishing trips to reefs and structures, using two boats—the 52-foot Kelley Girl and 55-foot Lady Kelley—each for up to 20 anglers.
