The spot shrimp fishery will be closed in Marine Area 6 outside Discovery Bay starting Thursday, July 2, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Wednesday.
The closure includes both spot shrimp and non-spot shrimp.
State officials said preliminary catch estimates indicate the state harvest target for Marine Area 6 outside the Discovery Bay Shrimp District has been met for spot shrimp.
With the closure of spot shrimp fisheries in the area, non-spot shrimp fisheries will open through Oct. 15.
Pots with a minimum mesh size of 1/2 inch will be allowed in the area starting July 2.
WDFW is reminding fishers that they must possess a current Washington fishing license, appropriate to the fishery. Check the WDFW "Fishing in Washington" rules pamphlet for details on definitions and regulations.
