Went with some friends this past weekend for some gulf fishing. Friend lives in FL but we traveled thru Perdido pass. All of us had our licenses, we thought. We never fished in Al waters. Caught a limit of snapper between the six of us. On the way back thru the pass, pulled over by the GW. Said everyone had to have an Al license, one our friends only had a fl license, he got a ticket for not having an Al license and possession of illegal fish. They confiscated two of the snapper. The FL and Al seasons are a little different. Just make sure that you have both licenses and snapper is in season in both states. Rant over
