The weather was very nice early in the morning but picked up heavy late in the evening. We were in a 27' Sportcraft with a fly bridge which does fairly well in rough seas. the bite was still slow. we first went out to 90' of water and picked up only a few reds. We then headed back in to 75' and went to large rock outcropping and drifted over it with a variety of frozen baits. The trick was whole Ly's. We limited out with 15 keeper blacks, the largest being 32". All in all it was a great day of fishing even though the fishing was slow. A friend was out the same day fishing with large live baits at the Exxon Template and landed a 300 pound plus jew fish. took a few pictures and released the giant. he also caught several nice black snapper. I am ready for the big bite to be on. should only be a few weeks away in the deeper water when snapper season opens.

Good report. I'm looking forward to snapper season this year as I didn't get a keeper last year. WTG!

Good report, nice catch.

AAAAHHHH Snaaaapppppeeeerrrr.


Good report.

I've never caught a Black Snapper before. Do you have a picture of one?

Thanks,

Gene, how about mangroves? Same thing. People call them blacks when they are the bigger variety.

WTG
We hope to hook up on some snapper this year. I left them alone up this way last year. But we did get for a few in Destin.

I have a few pictures of black snapper but rarely take pictures unless their of larger species of fish. I have loaded up on black snapper at the different public and OAR wrecks close to inshore. I will post some pictures later.

I know where there's some snapper, you do to.
