Red snapper season is almost here — and this year comes with a new approach.

South Carolina’s October 9–22 season requires anglers to obtain a free red snapper harvest permit, declare their trips and report their catch.

Swipe through for the key details, and save this post so you’re ready to hit the water.

Species Spotlight: Oyster Toadfish 🐸🐟

Okay, hear us out.

They may look like somebody hit “randomize” on the fish design settings, but oyster toadfish are actually pretty important members of South Carolina’s coastal ecosystem.

Not every conservation MVP is pretty.

Swipe to meet one of South Carolina’s ugliest little ecosystem workers—and learn why we’re glad they’re here.

Today is one of our favorite days of the year — National Hunting and Fishing Day.

From the marsh to the open water, hunting and fishing are part of what makes life in South Carolina special. They’re traditions passed down, weekends spent outside, and a way of life that runs deep in our coastal communities.

Here’s to getting outside and keeping those traditions alive.

The responsible angler era is here.

09/22/2026

ATTN: NOAA Fisheries has issued South Carolina’s Exempted Fishing Permit for Atlantic red snapper, with a recreational season running October 9–22, 2026.

While South Carolina anglers will have more opportunity to fish for red snapper this fall, CCA South Carolina believes recreational anglers deserve more access and that state-led management is the key to making that happen. We appreciate the role that the SCDNR and the SC Congressional Delegation has played in bringing this to this point.

CCA will continue pushing for management approaches that put recreational anglers and sound fisheries science at the forefront. More information on how you can participate will be forthcoming.

Bring it on.
