Florida just announced a 40-day red snapper season. Alabama's probably will be similar, I'd have to think.

Given the short seasons, the length limits, and if you live 4+ hours from the Gulf - is it worth it to you for the expense involved to drive down, stay, and fish for snapper?

I realize you can also combo, with a good captain, for maybe some grouper, beeliners, cobia or other stuff, too.
