Snapper

How close are the snapper this time of year off Ga/north Florida coast?

 

[Sharkfighter]

I have caught small snapper 10 mi out from Savannah at KC reef . (50ft of water) The reefs closer to 20 mi out of Savannah (65-70ft deep) have lots of snapper in 13-18 inch range. the best snapper fishing is natural ledges in the 90 to 150 ft range about 40 Mi out.

That is for the Savannah area

pic is a recent trip to a reef about 18 -20 mi off Ossabaw of a 17 inch Snapper

Do you catch a lot of gray (mangrove) snapper off Ga or yellowtail snapper?

I haven't. Some mangrove caught by FL border I hear, and there are vermillion at the snapper banks about 40 mi out but i dont think the yellow tail are here, someone can correct me if i am wrong.

Look for snapper reports this weekend, lots of boats going including me for the open season...

Send us some snapper pics shark. Good luck and all stay safe out there. For such a short season many will push the envelope.
