Seasonal Activity Chart
Red Snapper
While Chalmette isn't directly on the open Gulf, it provides access to some excellent Red Snapper fishing grounds with a bit of a boat ride. The key is understanding the offshore structure and seasonal patterns. Summer is the prime time, coinciding with the federal Red Snapper season. Look for artificial reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs in deeper waters. Live bait, such as pogies or pinfish, fished on a heavy Carolina rig or jig are effective. A practical piece of advice: Check weather conditions meticulously before heading offshore, as the Gulf can be unpredictable. Also, many charter boats operate out of nearby marinas, offering a great option for anglers unfamiliar with the area or without their own boats. Keep up-to-date with the latest regulations for size and bag limits, as they are strictly enforced.
