Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Some nice mutton snappers are hitting the dock this week on our daily drift fishing trips. Mutton snappers are the biggest snappers we catch and February is generally a GREAT month to target them. For muttons, use a ballyhoo plug or any similar streamline bait that doesn't spin. Muttons are smart so you need to freespool to them to let them get that bait down their mouth before you set the hook. It can take some time to get a feel for hooking muttons but once you get it, it's easy! Plenty of yellowtail and mangrove snappers biting this week too. Let's go fishing!
