WARNING: ENDANGERED RED SNAPPER

late report last sunday under ideal sea conditions we managed to land a couple maybe the last of the breed anyway a few pics

something to think about we had no throwbacks all fish were potential breeders 1 or 2 pushing mule status which totally goes against the science the samfc is using as the backbone for the closure
all i can tell them is the facts were biting pretty good last weekend

From the looks of your pictures, it’s pretty obvious that Red snapper are abundant and dolpin are endangered… scientifically speaking of course…

Nice haul!!!

Im with skinneej! Nice fish:smiley:

28ft luhr’s with twin 260 yanmar’s
19 ft Sea Fox

Now that’s a nice ARS spot!!

Threads I will not click on:

Nice catch! Something was up Sunday, all our ARS where between 20 and 25lbs. Total catch was sick with 6 ARS, 12 grouper, a cobia, and a 5 plus lb beeliner. I agree with the you on the science thing, but we didn’t catch a single snapper under the minimum, not even close. I only posted the pics as proof that there are fish out there.

Very nice haul of snapper!

Awesome! How deep?
