Dolphin will also inhale them, throw a DOA shrimp and see what I am talking about.

Fishing live shrimp on spinning tackle with justa split shot for lead at night, over shallow wrecks (70 feet or less) for black and red snapper is a blast -under a full moon the snaps will rise right up tothe boat, and you can hook- up high in the water column

recess (3/10/2010)CHUMMING SNAPPER UP AND FREE LINEING THEY ARE DYNOMITE BUT LIKE MENTIONED THEY ARE STOLED BY EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN PUT NEAR THE BOTTOM.PLUS VERY COSTLY.

Tim is on the money, they are trout candy and snapper candy. Once you have a school chummed up you can pick out your bigger ones using live shrimp. Lots of fun sight casting for snapper.

Went out on a headboat out of Destin a few years ago when the red snapper limit was 5. Some guy showed up with a bucket of live shrimp. People laughed at him. He had his limit of 5 keeper snapper before anyone else on the boat. Now, I will say he went through a bunch of shrimp to get to the 5 snapper. They don't last long on the bottom if they even make it down. But they do work.
