Deep sea Bottom fishing is great, The red snapper and vermilion snapper bite has been hot over the deep reefs, with steady action in 80 to 120 feet of water.

Mangrove snapper fish are also in the mix , especially around the ledges and structure. They’re known for being sharp and aggressive, and once hooked, they bring the kind of fight that offshore anglers live for.

And let’s talk giant deep sea red snapper we’ve had some good action with big red snapper smashing baits on the surface. Their explosive runs and hard pull are nothing short of thrilling. Bruised ribs are common lol

We’re also seeing solid numbers of trigger fish which are always a welcome bonus. These hard-pulling, reef-hugging fish are tough to fool but absolutely worth the effort when it comes to the dinner plate.
