Thanks for the tips on how to catch Red Snapper. We only have a 19 ft Key West, so I don’t see us going out to a hundred plus feet of water. Does anyone know if we might find them around the Edisto 60. It is an artificial reef about 15 miles off shore. We catch Cobia there in the spring.
Do you ever worry about the bait helicoptering and wrapping around the leader? If so tips to prevent that
Thank you, headed out for my first Snapper trip on the 2nd perfect timing with the video.
