APRIL 17th the public spots will still be productive for SNAPPER, MINGO'S and such also. You will get a keeper AJ, gag and scamp every so often.

The edge which is public of course but has no PUBLISHED #'s. That is something you just have to find. They produce plenty of AJ, Grouper, scamp, Red Snapper and Mingos.

Don't rule out head west also to BAMA waters and hitting some of there reefs. They have about 10,000 more then we do.

I haven't fished the Big "O" and don't know if I will but heard a lot of grouper and AJ are on it, I will just leave it to the divers for the most part though.

Of course you will have the kings and spanish in by then and like Woody said Cobia.

HEads up though, I haven't looked at the calendar or the moon phases but if you are comfortable fishing at night I would do that for the snapper, gags and mingos. The water will be full of people that 1st weekend of snapper season.
