Fishing a Nearshore Reef for Mangrove Snapper with Shrimp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In this video, I drop down live shrimp on a nearshore artificial reef 4 miles offshore of Tampa Bay, Florida in search of big mangrove snapper. After a failed morning of tripletail fishing, I was looking to catch some fish to fill the cooler. I quickly discovered that there were some snapper hanging around the structure under the boat. I then started recording and was able to easily catch my solo limit of good sized snapper in about 45 minutes!

What's your go-to technique for catching mangrove snapper?
Live shrimp or pilchards on a small octopus hook
Live shrimp with mustad yellowtail jig
How can you beat live shrimp? Overall I think it is the best bait for them.
Live shrimp and chum
Shrimp for sure. Little greenies w the back quarter cut off has yielded, probably my largest.
Snapper bite was on 🔥🔥🔥
Used to catch em up to 22" off port Tampa where the gypsum barges tied up...cobia ,etc. I even caught a little red grouper. I caught my bait...greenback shad on the middle grounds. That was 25 years ago. Nice job "Dude"
Nonstop action!! Good stuff man
Slaying the mangroves. Great video.
Nice bunch of fish!
I Love Mangroves, like a Smallmouth with teef!
Great video. Wow those were nice snappers. It made me hungry and wishing I was out there with ya.
Another great video 🤘👍🤙 good work on them fish too
Nice mangs, during the summer time i use whitebait and sandperch with knocker rig or split shot. winter time i do the shrimp and split shot. I take off a split shot when the tide starts to slow
“That’s REAL thick”😂
Tasty fish dude. Youre killing it!🤙
Great video as always
Awesome bro definitely one of my favorite fish to eat, great vid👊
The content is fire. Keep it up.
Was out yesterday and caught a ton of snapper with greenies near channel markers by the Skyway.
Worthwhile outing I'd say !
I see u working the penn battle lll 2500. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

It is indeed a good content!!!!

Nice mangs

State and federal regulations require all commercial fishers and recreational anglers fishing for any reef fish species to have and use certain gear. In state waters, reef fish species include groupers, snappers, amberjacks, gray triggerfish, red porgy, sea bass, hogfish and tilefish. State Waters of the Gulf of Mexico Required Gear
When fishing with natural bait, non-stainless steel, non-offset circle hooks are required
Dude you got into some nice sandwich size Mango's!! My biggest down here in Sanibel/Captiva was 21.5 inches and he was damn tasty!😎
That's a stud mangrove!
See Ya Dude yea it was but hey those you were catching weren't too much smaller but it was a beast prob weighed around 6 lbs😎 appreciate the stickers you sent me.... They will go on my cooler and a tackle box with pride😎👍👍
If you can't get live shrimp, is frozen shrimp fine?
Mangrove snapper will often eat frozen shrimp too, but sometimes they're finicky and seem to only eat live bait
I'm so new to fishing the ocean that I'm like a baby man. Is that tail hook the best place for shrimps? I've been hooking through the head but lose allot of bait.
@ReelNewwt get the Hobie out there!
How far is this reef off the shore line ?
New to your channel. Love it. I’m new to salt water. Learned a lot from your beginners video. Thank you. Any advice for a new to salt fisher
Learning from UA-cam videos is great, but nothing compares to how much you learn from getting out on the water and learning from experiences. Live shrimp will be your best bet for bait as a beginner because almost everything eats shrimp
Do you use the spot lock on your trolling motor or anchor up?
Spot lock
Hey Brent was wondering where you find your Malibu kayaks I’ve been trying to find one
Can’t ever find big shrimp like that out of Dunedin
Fairly new to your videos; really helpful. Just bought a house in Apollo Beach and am ready to hit the water soon! I’ve done mostly lake and bay fishing. Not sure what it is but 4 miles out on your own. Maybe because I’ve always been where I can see the shore. Done it with charters and it was no problem and great fishing. What is your rule of thumb for going off shore alone? Time of day, weather, etc.?
I missed the part where you post the gps coordinates.
I thought off shore mangrove snapper have to be 12 inches ?
The size limit for mangrove snapper in the Gulf of Mexico is 10 inches in state waters (from shore to 9 miles offshore) and 12 inches in federal waters (from 9 miles to about 200 miles)
@@SeeYaDude Used to be 12 inches in state waters many moons ago.
They are actually swimming in a school around the wreck.
Dude another nice video. Hey how deep was that reef? 20'-30'?
25' on top off the structure
I don't don't well fishing deep water but 4 miles 25' i might be able to do, thx!
Is that a public reef ? Any hints?
Am I mistaken or is the limit for Mangroves actually 10 per person??
It's 5 per person in state waters (0-9 miles offshore) and 10 per person in federal waters (9-200 miles offshore)
@@SeeYaDude Got it! Thanks for knowledge!
Hey man, love the videos. What landing net is that? Thanks
It's called a Frabill Power Stow Net. Here's a link if you wanna check it out amzn.to/2Ee2NAj
@@SeeYaDude thanks
Do you let them chew or are the taking the whole shrimp ?
They were eating very aggressively this day so they were taking the shrimp immediately
Got the coordinates for that wreck?
Dope video! I’ve been out to these reefs and I have trouble pinpointing the structures with the radar, any suggestions?
Look online for the public numbers to the different piles of structure out there. Once you plug those in, go out there (when it's not busy) and troll around those spots while keeping an eye on your graph to find the structure. From there, it's trial and error until you can find the piles that are really holding the fish
Mantap bikin pengen
