Federally Permitted American Red Snapper Fishing Charters

We carry Federal Permits that allow us to fish legally for Red Snapper throughout June and July. Unlike some other protected fish, the American Red Snapper can be caught for consumption, meaning you can take home your beautiful catch for a delicious fresh dinner. Red Snapper is limited to two per angler per day, so if you want to keep fishing after you’ve reached your limit, there’s plenty of other great fish about such as mangrove snapper or groupers.

Delicious Trophy Fish – The American Red Snapper

The Red Snapper is one of the best-tasting fish you can catch. Known for its impressive size and fighting spirit, it’s still reasonably easy to catch for all skill ranges. Unlike groupers, they head to the bait fast. Anglers across the Gulf of Mexico chase the red snapper as it provides deliciously tender meat, with sizes ranging from 5lbs to over 20lbs. Their body is very similar to other snappers, featuring a sloped profile, large scales, a spiny dorsal fin and a big characterful face.

Red Snapper can live for a long time; reports even show some as old as 57 found in the Gulf of Mexico. These fighters tend to nibble the line, so a soft touch is needed. They’re big fans of baits such as squid, medium-sized fish and small strips of fish.

How to Catch American Red Snapper?

While most American Red Snappers bite on just about any type of gear and bait, the bigger giants are wise and cautious of heavy tackle. On longer length American Red Snapper fishing charters in Florida, we can be selective and use the lighter tackle to land a fish to boast about.
