Why the Caribbean Just Slammed the Door on Red Hind This Winter
Every year around this time, serious anglers who chase grouper and snapper in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands get the same reminder from NOAA Fisheries: put the rods down in certain federal waters from December through February, sometimes longer.
