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!

Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, Grouper
— Despite the persistent South wind last week, we got offshore to do some reef fishing. Bait has been harder to find, but live pilchards and shrimp on offshore structure have been productive when paired with a moving tide.
— Grouper, mangrove snapper, and cobia have all ben hanging around on the reefs, and we managed to have some great days out there!
