(Red Snapper) Due to the highly regulated Red Snapper
fishery, 2 fish per person, 16 inch minimum and a 75 day season from
June 1 through Aug. 15,it no longer requires an all day long range trip
to catch your limit. The Red Snapper are more plentiful than anyone can
remember. You should be able to catch your limit of Red Snapper on a 4
to 6 hour trip, within sight of the beach usually 2 to 8 miles off
shore.
(Trout and Redfish) Trout and Redfish are targeted year
round. Trout fishing is done in the bay with 6 or 8 lb. tackle. Most
trout are caught in relatively shallow water, 3 to 6 feet using live
bait and light spinning tackle. Redfish are also caught while targeting
trout. Most redfish are caught around slightly deeper docks, using a
small lead and live bait. We use 10 to 15 lb. tackle, due to the
redfish's nature to run back in the structure. October offers the
largest redfish of the year. The big spawning female fish congregate in
our pass leading from the bay into the gulf. These redfish are targeted
drift fishing in 30 to 50 feet of water. The average size of these
redfish are 15 to 40 lbs.
