Snapper’s

So with the winds blowing the next few days, fishing is not happening. My brother visiting me from Florida I wanted to do something today. So yesterday set up to ultralight spinners and said let’s try snapper fishing in the morning. As kids that was our pastime in the summer catch all the snappers you want, but we never kept them it was always catch and release just keep count how many you caught. My boat in my canal is a stone throw from the bay, I said we can stand on the boat and fish. Needless to say days of snapper fishing is a thing in the past. We had our lines in the water by 6.30 after two hours we managed 3 snappers all around 5/6 inches long. That was two hours too long for me, but we tried. Certainly no shortage of peanut and small adult sized bunker in the canal the morning. Just like many other species snappers are a thing in the past.

That’s why they put such a stretch limit on them now

So I had leftover snapper bait. Fished for a hour and half. Had a double limit for myself.😂 caught 6 had about a dozen or so bites. Still small in the 5/6 inch range. All released to grow up. View attachment 104831View attachment 104832
