A few from Saturday.....

I catch good snapper here at 55' at the beginning of season and then they move out to more like 70-100'. The fall brings em back in to 55-70 again around the end of oct-nov. Season is out Nov. again though.

Of course the deeper water 150+ holds the giants more consistantly, but I catch 15-20lbs fairly regularly in water 100 or less. Especially early and late in the season.

Another tip....if you can get out on a pretty night with a full or close to full moon DO IT! Fish with heavy gear and BIG pieces of cutbait. I like a whole bluefish fillet. Big snappa cant resist em. My theory is that the little ones come over and start pecking at the big chunk of fish and it pisses the biguns off. They then move in and swaller it up!!! :o

This method (especially at night) has bagged me more big snapper than anything else.

My best snapper trip ever was last oct. done this way during a full moon. It was me and two other buddies. We were throwing back 10-12 pounders to make room for the gooduns. 8)

Good luck!!!! *;D
