Recreational fishing for black sea bass in South Atlantic federal waters will remain open for the entire 2026-2027 season. NMFS determined that catch levels allow the full season to proceed without early closure, giving recreational anglers maximum fishing opportunity. This affects recreational fishers along the South Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Florida. Good news for anglers — no mid-season shutdowns expected, meaning you can plan fishing trips with confidence.
