Yeah, that be the ice for the critters during the kill spree. They get the full ice bath-o-death after the carnage.
Biscuit, they bite well in cooler water. We catch some in the summer, but the biggest ones are found in slightly cooler water then the summer temps. Usually bite well around 65 degrees to 68. It does depend. The biggest hurdle to snapper is learning their bite. They kind of tap..... tap...... tap tap...... tap..... wham a bait.... well the smaller ones anyways. When they get over 10 pounds they become animals on the hit, like a gag. The good thing about a snap is he's not going for a hole. They just buck and fight the whole way up. Usually keeping the line tight is the biggest goal with snaps, where as with groups (as you DEFINITELY know) its keeping them from home sweet hole.
You come down, and I will get you sent to the right spots. Another guy went out deep (40 miles +) and put the wood to them. We were one of the few boats that stayed in close that did well. Oh, be warned, out past 40 miles you start hitting 100 plus deep water.... and thats home to the BIG NASTYs... Gags of 40-50 pounds frequent that water. I wont condone it
, but a lot of the smaller throw back snapper (Florida Atlantic side they must be 20 inches, and 2 per person) get sent back on a large J hook and are often then consumed by big nasty!
Glad yall liked the report. I am getting married in 4 days so that will likely be the end of my reports for a couple weeks!
