I'm unaware if this is an annual spawn closure or if this applies to our state but I know other states close certain groundfish fisheries based on an over abundance of toxic chemicals in the water. Not because its harmful to the fish itself but because of the prey their expected to be eating that time of year and to reduce stress on the fish. These bans usually last a few months like you mentioned.
