Trip for red snapper a success! We left out at 7:30, ran about 2 hours, and had our limit of red snapper (14) by noon. We were in about 90 feet of water and the water was a brilliant blue. My first live pinfish I caught a 33" AJ. 5 keeper red snapper, and 1 24" gag was my haul, along with several shorts of each species. There wasn't anything in the cooler to brag about, all the snapper were around 5 to 7 pounds, and 1 kepper red grouper. (most everything was caught on live pinfish or frozen squid)

It was a beautiful day and it sure beat being at work.

Way to go!! Anytime you can get a "limit" of any species, it is a great day

That is/was one tough arse pinfish!

Glad to know the ever "endangered" red snapper is still out there

You got me there! The AJ took care of him. I did catch 3 snapper on the same piece of squid.

Congrats on a successful day ttop_guy! Any day fishing is better than a day of work. And a limit of fish just makes it even better. WTG!!

Nothing special to look at, but I grilled some of each Tuesday night and it was something special to eat!

I was a little optimistic with the weight of a few(most) of the snapper . I guess I have watched to many Bill Dance and Roland Martin fishing shows.

Nice catch! Bet they grilled good.
