Snappers We Can Keep

March 30, 2012 by Larry Pentel

I have been steady running bottom trips everyday it's pretty. The cobias are here but the weather has kept me on the hill the days I have had trips scheduled to chase 'em.

Oh well, we are filling up the board (and box) with Snappers we get to keep. The Vermillion Snappers have moved in with a good grade of fish as well as big numbers. My folks have been landing around 20 to 40 of the tasty bright red snappers a trip as well as a few Triggers and lots of Pinks.

The Red Snappers are as thick as ever, we are even catching a few nice size everyday on tiny pieces of cut bait aimed at the Vermillions. Rather than ramble on I'll post a few pics from the past week.

Lots more fish in the box but only so many nails
