Texas Fishing Seasons —
Every dated season on the Texas coast, computed live from rules we verified against TPWD's 2026–27 Outdoor Annual, NOAA Fisheries bulletins, the Federal Register and the Gulf Council — with the sources linked on every card. When something closes in-season, the card is wrong until we re-verify: always confirm before you keep a fish.

Fish it with a verified captain
Every captain on IronJetty is licensed, insured and vetted — the amberjack and gag windows in September are short, and the boats that know them book out early.
