The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will hold a public hearing Wednesday (Jan. 11) just outside of New Orleans during which anglers can comment on how greater amberjack will be managed off the Mississippi coast.
Implementation of Reef Fish Amendment 35 will be the topic the hearing, which begins at 6 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza New Orleans Airport at 2829 Williams Blvd. in Kenner, La.
