How To Catch Countless Snapper & Jacks On Nearshore Patch Reefs

“It’s like fishing in an aquarium!”

You’ve got to see all these fish we had next to the boat!

In this video, we are fishing LIVE with Capt. Mark “Hollywood” Johnson in the Keys to show just how easy it is to catch mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, jacks, grouper, and more on a patch reef.

We had nonstop action and so you can have the same trip, we got Capt. Hollywood to share some of his secrets.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to use FROZEN bait to get tons of tight lines
  • How to find patch reefs (and how to position your boat so you can maximize catching fish on them)
  • Why this type of fishing is so great for visitors to the Keys
  • The best way to rig squid on a jig head (so fish don’t just steal your bait)
  • And much more
