OFFSHORE RED SNAPPER & MANGROVE SNAPPER
On our red snapper trip we will meet at our dock early in the morning to load your group along with your food and drinks into our boats. Shortly after all the gear and guests are loaded in the boat we will depart from our dock before sunrise. We make our way through the marshes of Hopedale in the dark and continue our journey into the Gulf Of Mexico. Depending on the time of the year and the size snapper you want to catch we will have approximately an hour and 15 minute boat ride to an hour 45 minute boat ride to the fishing grounds. We will start off fishing for your red snapper and once the boat limit is reached we will swap gears and target mangrove snapper. When the fishing is over we will make our journey back to the dock where your captain will clean and bag your catch for the day. This trip runs approximately 8- 10 hours from start to finish.
For our offshore enthusiast Our offshore Red snapper trips consist of catching Red snapper and Mangrove Snapper ONLY. These are the two main species of fish targeted in this trip. We occasionally will catch other species of fish including triggerfish, Grouper, cobia, and other species of snapper. We will allow you to keep these extra species if caught while snapper fishing if in season, but we will not target these fish on the Snapper trip. If you would like to target more than just snapper we recommend our deep drop bottom trips.
