Red Snapper
Venturing offshore from Port Fourchon opens up a world of Red Snapper fishing opportunities. This area provides relatively easy access to productive snapper grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. The key is to locate artificial reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures that provide habitat for these prized fish. Summer is typically the prime season for Red Snapper, with specific dates determined by federal regulations. A helpful tip is to use a fish finder to locate promising structure and mark your spots. Chumming can also be effective in attracting snapper to your boat. Be sure to check the latest regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out. Also, be prepared for potentially rough seas and strong currents, and always prioritize safety.
