Be ready for a fight - these fish pull hard and don't give up easy. The captain will coach you on the right technique to winch them up without getting broken off on the structure below.

All About Red Snapper

Red snapper are the crown jewels of Gulf bottom fishing, and for good reason. These beautiful crimson-colored fish put up a stellar fight and make for some of the best eating around. They typically hang out near reefs, wrecks, and other structure in depths from 60 to 200 feet. Adult red snapper can grow up to 40 inches and weigh over 50 pounds, though fish in the 5-15 pound range are more common on half-day trips like this. They're opportunistic feeders, gobbling up smaller fish, crustaceans, and just about any bait you send down. The satisfaction of feeling that tell-tale thump and battling one of these bruisers to the surface never gets old. Just remember, red snapper seasons are strictly regulated, so having a knowledgeable captain like Brian is key to staying legal and maximizing your chances during open season.
