Killer snapper! Cooler of swimming tacos

Arvy and his crew put a gurting on mangrove snapper this weekend. We hit our 4 man limit of beautiful snapper roughly in hour into the trip. We had to throw back twice as many as we had a blast freelining these swimming sandwiches. After our trip came to an end, this captain took his wife and 2 young daughters for a quick scalloping trip. Filled up the cooler in a few hours and enjoyed a wonderful dinner! Summer is in full swing and we have the spots!

Great trip out nearshore today. Had a great snapper bite most of the day. Loaded up with some mangroves before switching gears to get a few trout. Saw a good assortment of species including gag grouper, mangrove snapper, key West grunts, Spanish mackeral, sea trout, lady fish, puffer fish, ramora, wrasse, jack crevelle, and black sea bass.

Today the bite was non-stop! Couldn't ask for better weather. The water is warming up a hair and the mackeral and mangrove snapper were fired up before the front. Freelining live shrimp proved to be the best method while bottom fishing proved to be effective for grunts and sheepshead. Had a great time with Julie and her family for her birthday. Lots of laughs, lots of fun, and buckets of fish to take home!
