Hog Snapper
—New year’s eve day gave a break in the wind, and allowed for some more reef fishing off of the beaches. We decided to target hog snapper, as well as mangrove snapper and grouper. The hog snapper are very picky, and require long and light leaders. Small weights and hooks must be used also. They fight hard and taste great!

Reef, Bay and Backwater Morning
