Red Snapper

For Red Snapper enthusiasts, Boca Raton provides access to productive offshore reefs and wrecks in the Atlantic. Remember that Red Snapper seasons are strictly regulated in Florida, so always verify the opening dates and regulations before planning your trip. When open, target areas with significant structure in deeper water, typically 80 feet or more. Natural baits like squid, cut bait, or live pinfish are the go-to choices. Depth is crucial, so use a fish finder to pinpoint the most promising spots and adjust your presentation accordingly. A local tip: many anglers find success using heavy weights to get their bait down quickly through the water column. Also, be aware of the strong currents in the Gulf Stream, which can make anchoring challenging. The Red Snapper in this region are prized for their size and flavor, making them a desirable catch for any angler.
