    Here's a polished version of your review: Captain Scott was amazing and so prompt with responding. I booked this charter for myself, my dad, and my 11-year-old son. My son fishes freshwater canals and lakes almost daily, but he had been wanting to do more saltwater fishing. I am SO glad we chose Bottoms Up with Captain Scott! Captain Scott was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive throughout the trip. He made sure we found fish to bring home, while also putting us on fish that were just plain fun to catch. We never felt rushed and had an absolutely amazing day on the water. By the end of the trip, we had caught 18 fish across 5 different species! The highlight for me was when my son stopped me in the middle of the trip and said, “I love my life.” That's how you know it was a great day. I highly recommend Bottoms Up to anyone looking for a fantastic fishing charter—not just families with kids. Thank you, Captain Scott, for making memories we'll never forget!

    We booked a 6 hour trip and had a great time! The first stop we made was beside a stopped strip boat and we caught a 4 foot shark, then captain Jordan took us to a couple other spots where we caught a lot of grunts red eyes and an exotic snapper. The frist mate was a no show called in early in the morning right before the trip but Catian Jordan still got us prepared and catching fish would recommend others to book this charter.

About Yellow Snapper fishing

Size
2 to 9lbs
Food Value
Average
Game Quality
Good

Yellow Snapper are colorful, hard-fighting members of the Snapper family. Anglers target them for fast action, steady bites, and tasty fillets. Yellow Snapper fishing is great for learning the basics and for building confidence on the water.

You can catch them with bottom fishing around reefs, wrecks, and rocky structure. Many crews anchor or drift and use chumming to bring fish close. Live bait like pilchards or shrimp works well. Cut bait and small jigs also do the trick. Light spinning tackle keeps the fight fun and lets you feel every bite.

Expect quick strikes, short runs, and plenty of chances to hook up. This is a hands-on, high-activity trip that suits beginners, families, and seasoned anglers. Captains typically provide rods, reels, and tackle. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle. If you get seasick, consider motion sickness remedies. A small cooler in your car is handy for fillets if cleaning is offered.

Rules for Yellow Snapper vary by location. Always check local fishing license and permit needs before your trip. Review season dates, areas, and harvest rules where you plan to fish. Size and bag limits can change, and some reefs may be protected. Your captain can explain current regulations and best practices so you fish within the law.
