What to Expect on the Water

Top Catches This Season

Listen up, because this is where it gets good. Red Snapper season is like Christmas for us Gulf anglers. These fish are the real deal - we're talking beautiful, bright-red beauties that put up one heck of a fight. Most folks are after that picture-perfect 10-pounder, but don't be shocked if you hook into something even bigger. We use a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day. You'll be dropping lines anywhere from 60 to 200 feet deep, so get ready for some serious reeling. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of feeling that distinctive 'thump' when a big Snapper takes the bait. It's all about reading the bottom finder, positioning the boat just right, and being ready when they strike. Trust me, landing your first Red Snapper is a moment you won't forget!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Have had fantastic fishing with captain Buttler. I've fished with him multiple times over the years. Never disappointing I gave him thumbs up and five stars" - John

"I had a great time fishing with my dad and Mr. Mark! We had so much fun and will be back soon!" - Emily

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's talk Red Snapper - the star of our show. These guys are the rockstars of the Gulf, and for good reason. They're not just a pretty face (though that crimson color is something to behold); they're also one of the tastiest fish you'll ever put on your plate. Red Snappers typically hang out near reefs, wrecks, and other structure in depths of 30 to 200 feet. They're opportunistic feeders, which means they'll go after a variety of baits - from live pinfish to cut squid.

Now, here's what makes Red Snapper fishing so exciting: these fish are strong, smart, and they fight like crazy. When you hook one, be ready for a battle. They'll try to dive back to their structure, so you've got to be quick on the reel to turn their head. Most Red Snappers we catch range from 5 to 15 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 20+ pounder - they're out there!

The best part? Red Snappers are schooling fish, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. That means once we're on a hot spot, the action can be non-stop. Just remember, these fish are carefully managed to keep populations healthy, so we follow all size and bag limits. But don't worry - even if you have to throw some back, you're in for an unforgettable day of fishing.
