Nowโ€™s the time to hook into some of the biggest and baddest red snapper of the season! Off the coast of New Smyrna Beach, Daytona, and Port Canaveral, the red snapper bite has been nothing short of incredible. We're fishing offshore and nearshore ledges, reefs, and wrecks โ€” and the rods are bending! These hard-fighting fish not only put up a thrilling battle but also make for some of the best table fare around.
