    Hard to find a better Charter in PCB

    If you’re serious about catching fish, this is the boat you want to be on. The Captain knows where to find the fish and the crew are well experienced. Whether this is your first time deep sea fishing or your 100th, you’ll have a great time and you’ll likely hit your catch limit on snapper.

    Captain Mikey knows fish

    We had a great time with Capt Mikey. He kept us on the fish and kept baited and tangle free. At one point, we were catching Mingos on every cast - all four of us

About Vermilion Snapper fishing

Size
14–24 inches
Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Good

Also known as 'Beeliners', the Vermilion Snapper is not a fish that should be overlooked. While not quite as popular as its cousin the Red Snapper, it offers a fun angling experience on light tackle and a good meal once you're back on the shore.

When the other fish aren't biting, savvy anglers go for Beeliners. Don't turn your nose up at them next time you're fishing offshore in the Atlantic!

How Big

Vermilion Snappers have been known to reach up to 24 inches (60 centimeters), at which point they usually weigh about 6 pounds, although it is much more common for them to grow to around 14 inches. They are a slow growing species that matures at around the age of 3-4 years.

When and Where

Vermilion Snappers are caught offshore over rocky reefs at mid depths. They can be found in the Atlantic ocean from North Carolina down to Brazil, including the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Bear in mind that although people often refer to Beeliners as bottom fish that is not entirely true - they don't actually feed at the seabed, but stay in the middle of the water column feeding on bait fish. These means they will be found swimming over structure, not around it.

How to Catch

Vermilion Snappers are enjoyable to catch on light spinning tackle - their small size and speed make them fun to catch on 15 lb line. As they have very small mouths, try using a very small circle hook - just like the sort you would use for Triggerfish. Beeliners respond very well to cut bait such as shrimp and squid.

Good to Eat?

Yes - like most Snappers, these are a tasty treat.

Regulations

Vermillion Snapper are usually available to keep all year round, with a maximum of 10 fish per angler currently applicable in Florida (this is subject to change).
