Red Snapper
Venturing offshore from Naples in pursuit of red snapper is a Gulf Coast tradition. The key to success lies in targeting artificial reefs and natural hard-bottom structures in the Gulf of Mexico. The red snapper season is typically open during the summer months, so plan your trip accordingly. A local tip is to pay attention to the depth and current; red snapper tend to congregate in specific areas based on these factors. Use heavy tackle and live or cut bait presented on a bottom rig. Be prepared for a long boat ride, as the best red snapper fishing often requires traveling a significant distance offshore. The red snapper population in the Gulf has been recovering in recent years, resulting in some impressive catches. Always check the current regulations, as they can change frequently to manage the fishery.
