We went out knowing it is the coldest time for water temperature in the area. Which means fish are not as plentiful. We did catch and release. The afternoon excursion was worth the time.

Depending on the time of year weather can be an issue. We went during the winter just before a front came through. The next day would have been a difficult fish with high wind and waves.

Mild weather, lots of different species of fish, lots of different areas like jetties, flats, creeks, etc.

You need to know that there is only a 5 day fishing window for red snapper. If you aren't in that window then you will not get to keep your snapper you catch.

Bring youngsters to enjoy their delight in catching any kind and any size of fish. It is far better than catching them yourself.

Good fishing as long as you understand or have fishing history that weather, fresh water from rain, tides and time of day will affect the bite. It’s fishing not catching

Be prepared for a wonderful day. Can Ching fish is a bonus but highly probable with Captain Scott.

The water was a it choppy in some areas, but that was due the remains of a storm I believe.
