Mangrove snapper

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever cuaght a Mangrove Snapper here in Charleston, my five year old caught two of them in Ellis Creek. I’m from Miami and knew it was one as soon as I saw it.

Yes, this year has been a relative bumper crop of them. Pretty cool to see.

There has been a few post about mangrove snapper being caught around here lately.

Yes we caught a couple this year too

Local Boy, Just having fun.

I caught one a month ago just up the Ashley River.

Global warming to be sure. Wouldn’t mind some keep size, that’s good eating.

It’s so yesterday to wear your Rolex fishing…

Thanks for the fashion tip! I’ll think about it next time I use the restroom.

My son said he has caught some in Beresford while trout fishing recently.

They are every where now. They are about as bad as the pin fish.

pin fish suck

Caught several in Beresford creek on live shrimp under the sliding cork. All around 8 or 9 inches. I have not caught them offshore. Where do they go and grow?
