RED SNAPPER
STATE RECoRD
Fish each location, fish both up current and down
current sides. Give about 15 minutes to get the first bite.
Also try various jigs or live/dead bait methods before
deciding to move on to the next location.
<<< TIP: LET THEM EAT!
When fishing with circle hooks there is no need to
set the hook. Circle hooks self set when you apply pressure from reeling your line. When you get bit reel your line
to set the circle hook. Make sure you let them eat.

Caroline is better for nice hardy
live bait, it gives them more
leader to swim around. Drop
shot is good for dead bait
options and helps keep your
bait off the bottom.
