Snapper Season: Extra Innings!!!!

[Scoop Sea]

Thanks to the Snapper Season being extended a couple of days, I was able to get out on the water today with my fishing buddies. They fished yesterday and limited out and also got some nice red grouper. Today we only got a couple grouper, but we did get our limit of Snapper (14 as we had 7 on the boat). The bite was slow in the morning but around 1:15 it took off and we caught the majority of our keepers in about an hour. The water was like glass and it was hot as all get out, but it was a great day.

Below are some pics from today.

On a side note, when we pulled up at Crum's in Panacea around 0540 Mr. Crum advised me that they had been slammed already and expected it to continue through tomorrow due to the snapper season extra innings. Great news for our rural county....

Nice work scoop. We did well yesterday as well. We were the only truck in Crums parking lot at 5:25, by 5:35 the lot was full and there was nowhere to pull in another boat. He sold a bunch of bait, gas and ice that he probably wouldn't have had the season not been extended.

Thanks Salty Gator for that update, glad they had another good day of commerce. We took some fresh fish down to Posey's last night and gave them some business as ell. Great weekend overall.
