Shrimp season starts on Friday on or before the 15th of September so that should be Sept 14th if I’m reading the law correctly.

This is what I’ve always understood it to be, but I believe that the wording in the law has changed.

ARTICLE 11. Shrimp
SECTION 50-5-1100
(B) The department shall establish annually a sixty-day open season between September 1 and November 15 for taking shrimp over baited areas. The sixty days may but are not required to be consecutive.

I could not find a law worded the way that I (and you) believed it to be.
