Just wondering what's going on with red snapper. I have seen very few pictures or reports since the opener. I know it's been nasty but somebody's fishing in the slop besides us. We've done well considering the weather but nothing over about fifteen pounds. What's up?
For those that need a more detailed report, we've been fishing around 100'. Spanish mack and whole large pogies (Gulf Menhaden) have been our best baits. Caught em on bottom rigs and freelinig. Had a chum bag out and all those caught free lining were full of it even though they didn't come to the surface like they normally do.

Dang, nice job dude. Good looking reds. To ruff for me I need a bigger boat or the wind to die down.

No hero shots but here's the end result of 1 fillet.
Snappah fingers.

I don’t think locals get excited about Snapper anymore

I personally haven’t targeted them since they forced me to fish in the heat of the summer with every other googan that has a boat

Big ones don’t eat well either good for pics though. Just my 2cents.

Let me know...I'm in the panhandle a few times a year and this year was another one where I was fishing alone...would gladly help with fuel, ice and cleanup. I fished alone on my bayboat 2 out of the 3 days there this week.

Heck, was a parking lot today.... A boat came up to me then said sorry fer getting so close...(close enough to shake hands)!!!! I told him no worries, was packing up to leave anyways and had seen everything today!!! Tons of bo-bo but only got 4 to eat... Tons of 15 inch snaps, only 1 keeper...a few Almaco's and a few cut offs... Also lost my phone into the depths!!!!!!!!!

Listening in...
FWIW- I got out Wednesday and Thursday and put my first four legal snaps in the boat. Nothing spectacular all under 20 in.
