Mangrove Snapper are a big hit offshore, with recent 39-hour trips bringing in huge hauls, including some mangroves weight 7-9lb. They love cut threadfins and the double snell rigs gives you an extra hook in the bait to hook into those fish! Mangrove snapper, especially offshore in the deepest waters are extremely smart fish, and often leadershy! You have to be ready when they hit the bait! They will hit that bait very fast and if you are not ready you may miss out on a big one! Mutton Snapper are becoming more regular, especially on our 12-hour extreme and 39-hour trips. Theyre biting on cut threadfins and live pinfish. We have seen some very large sized mutton snapper coming up on our 39-hour trips recently and its been quite a nice surprise catching them! Triggerfish are open and biting well on smaller strips of squid or cut fish. Theyre often caught while targeting smaller snappers like Yellowtails or Vermillion. Scamp and Strawberry Grouper are also being caught, mostly while targeting Mangrove Snapper. Vermillion Snapper, Porgies, Almaco Jacks, and other fish are rounding out our big catches, ensuring a great haul despite many reef fish being closed. Ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure? Book your trip with Hubbards Marina today and experience the thrill of near shore and offshore fishing at its best!
