Red Snapper
If you're after Red Snapper near Red Bay, Alabama, you'll need to venture into the Gulf of Mexico. This area boasts a number of natural and artificial reefs that hold impressive snapper populations. Summer months, particularly during the federally designated Red Snapper season, are your best bet. Check regulations carefully, as they can change annually. Success hinges on finding the right structure. Look for reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs in depths ranging from 60 to 150 feet. A good depth finder is essential. Bring a variety of baits, including live and cut bait, as well as jigs and lures. Current can be strong, so be prepared to use heavy weights to get your offering down to the fish. Launching from marinas in nearby coastal towns like Bayou La Batre or Dauphin Island will provide the best access to offshore waters. Remember, responsible angling is key to maintaining this valuable fishery. Pay attention to size and bag limits, and practice proper catch-and-release techniques when necessary.
