Captain Weston suggested we wait until September for a Dophin trip, and we agreed.

It will be cooler and there will be more mature dolphin at that time.

So August 12 for our outing we are going to go looking for Snapper.

The discussion will be what is the best location for catching Snapper?

Inshore Mangrove Snapper can be found just about anywhere there is structure. They get their name from their preference to live around mangrove shorelines early on in life, but these are some other places that they are frequently found:

Beach Piers
Inlets
Bridges and Docks
Rock Piles / Oyster Beds
Deep holes
