Which ones? There are quite a few, some a few miles to some way over 100mi. Maps, chart plotters etc will show them, and you can see them a long way off. A lot more info is needed.

Outside of 9 nauti miles (10.35 statute mile) you cannot keep Red Snapper until the season in federal waters reopens.

Legally that is wink

Early conversation is that the Red Snapper season will likely be 3 to 10 days opening June 1.

Take a trip south to Port Mansfield or South Padre. You can get into red snapper within the 9nm state waters limit there.
