Spotted seatrout will be closed to recreational harvest, November 1 through December 31, 2024, in Florida's spotted seatrout Central East Management Region, which includes all state and federal waters from Palm Beach through Volusia counties on the east, Atlantic coast of Florida (see map). 

Spotted seatrout is one of Florida’s most popular inshore fisheries. This closed season was re-established in 2020 for the Central East Region to address declining trends in the stock and benefit spotted seatrout during times when they are particularly vulnerable to harvest.
