Red Snapper
Titusville's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean provides access to prime Red Snapper fishing grounds, though seasons are tightly regulated, so check current regulations before planning your trip. Focus on offshore reefs and wrecks, where these fish congregate. Bottom fishing with live or cut bait is a common and effective technique. Summer months generally offer the best opportunities when the season is open. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as Red Snapper are strong fighters and live in deep water. A local tip: try using a chum bag to attract snapper to your boat. Pay attention to the current; you may need to adjust your weight to keep your bait near the bottom. Remember to use descending devices if releasing fish, as barotrauma is common in deep-water species.
