Incredible Underwater Mangrove Snapper Behavior!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2020
- Want to see how mangrove snapper actually feed on shrimp?
Here’s a scenario…
You’re fishing a bridge using live shrimp in hopes of getting sheepshead or snapper for dinner, but you keep feeling little tap-taps and losing your shrimp.
Sound familiar?
What do you think is happening down there?
I always thought snapper or sheepshead were stealing my bait, but after watching this video, I now know exactly what’s going on.
In this video below, you’ll learn:
- How shrimp vs. pinfish feed (and how to lose fewer shrimp)
- How to catch more snapper
- How sheepshead act underwater (which is very different than mangrove snapper)
- And much more
If you want to catch more sheepshead and snapper, check this out.
Have any questions about how mangrove snapper feed?

If Sheepshead are scared of GoPros maybe you could cover up the GoPro emblem or use a different brand name that sheeps that aren't familiar with.
Bait🤪
Haha!
Doondah , not the best , but it’s pretty good!
My HERO 3 has a blue light that blinks, maybe black nail polish over the light?
That’s awesome Luke. Gives me a better idea of how to fish my artificial shrimp as well.
Great stuff!!! Thanks for posting
dead bait vs live bait would be interesting
Love this! So cool to see the antics of fish. Do more!
Thanks! Will do!
That’s amazing footage! Great video.
Thanks Jim!
What a great info!Thank You! Liked and subscribed 👍
I love your under water footage!!! Way awesome!!!!
Great tutorial, brother! From my experience, using a drop-shot rig (used in bass fishing) is highly effective for mangrove. I don’t understand why but they move right in and hammer the shrimp-almost without thought using a size #1 gamakatsu octopus hook....another trick I use is I take a pair of tweezers and blind the shrimp by crushing the eyes in order to keep them from jumping so much....
Thanks for the lesson. This is really an informative video.
This is exactly what we need to know, I subscribed to your channel.
Enjoyed watching that. Thanks for the lesson!
👍fascinating footage. Cheers mate.
Great info, thank you for the video.
Very nice footage!
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Great footage ~ Thanks!
Very interesting.. Thank you for the awesome footage👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Bestt footage bro❤️👍
We tore up the mangrove snapper yesterday in NE Florida. They were up to 13" we caught 9 altogether on live shrimp. Thank you for the video!!!
Wow, what a great job you did of getting that footage and then breaking it down. Love your vids and the club. Not to mention Smart Spots.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video thanks for doing it
Great footage. Thanks
Awesome video man, thank you 🤙
Great vid teach!
Holy smokes amazing vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im heading out to Savusavu in Fiji to Salt lake lodge to get some mangrove snappers soon. Great work on setting up this video! Very interesting behavior!!
Nice video! I grew up watching fish in my 50 gallon aquarium. Brought back memories.
How cool! I've always wanted a saltwater aquarium with my favorite inshore fish in there.
Thanks for sharing this. I like seeing stuff like this 👍
Glad you enjoyed this video! Here's one we did showing seatrout striking a paddletail lure in case you haven't seen it yet: www.saltstrong.com/articles/underwater-paddletail-lure-footage/
@@Saltstrong thanks
Cool.... Thanks for the Vid!
WOW! Amazing! I love how you explain fishing in a scientific and logical manner. I joined the membership just now, I am new to fishing but it's my obsession now. We caught two mangrove snappers inshore fishing yesterday in Venice FL and they were delicious. We had a lot of bites on live shrimp but only reeled in two, the rest didn't get hooked. Maybe my hook is too big? I am going through your videos to figure out what I did wrong lol. Watching your videos is better than going to the movies and almost as good as actually going fishing!!!
Thanks so much for making time to leave the nice comment Jessica! Yes, going down to a smaller hook will likely result in catching more fish when you're in a spot that has a lot of bait stealers (almost always small fish).
Perfect. Thank you
Great video thank you love from UK 🇬🇧
Keep it coming love the effort you guys put in!
Awesome research.
Great stuff... thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was a very helpful breakdown.
That was great footage
This was actually a great video never knew what shrimp do underneath the water. Obviously if you didn’t have a weight on it it would move more freely correct? Love these types of videos keep them coming thank you very much!
This is awesome!
Outstanding video
Awesome video !
Underwater footage is the Most interesting and educational view of bait-feeding habits ...
Lucky you are in Florida, the water temperature in Long Island sound is just starting to warm up… Hooked up with some black Seabass and fluke just recently ...working on some
New videos, and we’re going to try the SlamShady paddle tail for striped bass and fluke... Will let you know ASAP,
Tight lines from captain Wally
Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment! I hope you enjoy the slam shady lures as much as I do. Tight Lines!
Awesome and great to see. I often hook behind the head and catch more snaps
Awesome vid 👏
This Is really nice being able to see their behavior 👍👍👍
So neat! Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome underwater footage 👍🏾
Awesome video! Little mangs are bait thieves lol, ✌️❤️🎣
I love these kinds of videos. So many claims about different lures, etc. and there’s never any video showing you how fish interact with different techniques.
Glad you enjoyed this video! Here's a fun one of seatrout striking a lure underwater... very cool to see how they come up to eat it.
very informative.
Great analysis
Thanks for sharing
Appreciate the insight.
Really cool Luke!
Thanks Adam!
Thanks Brother your research its important for me to use shrimp lure for my longline
brilliant video man
got a question about the inside club... i am in the UAE... will the content fit conditions, weather etc on my side of the world
Im diggin this!
Awesome!
Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome bos loves it
This is my first time fishing is fla and this helps a lot as I were catching a lot the other day one question though do they bite in cigar minnows?
Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.
Cool. Thanks
Fish on master ferdz, ganda ng mga huli mu
Crazy! I knew they were cautious, but this is just the confirmation
This is invaluable
Cool ....Nice one
Dude what an awesome idea for a fishing video. Clear footage. Great lesson. One of the best channels out there especially for us tampa bay fishermen that love to check mangrove snappers. Please do more of these type of videos!!!
Thanks so much for making time to leave the nice comment Christopher!
Wow that is awesome video great information and trout have there own way of eating the bait
Glad you enjoyed it! Here's some cool underwater footage of seatrout striking a lure that we published a month or two ago in case you haven't yet seen it: www.saltstrong.com/articles/underwater-paddletail-lure-footage/
I go to a spot in Sarasota Bay on a bridge. I limit out every time I go and I can feel the other snapper bouncing off my leader when they go into a frenzy. Every single cast on half a shrimp every time. Also, MONSTER sheepshead are n the same spot. Incoming tide only. Got 4 to 6 hours of a fire bite EVERY time. You can actually see the fish schooled up with 24 inch sheepers everywhere. Hint? Bird Key.

Really really cool. A shrimp under a popping cork with a red or trout bite would be incredible. Next to impossible to capture I’m sure but phenomenal nonetheless. Great video.
Yes, that would be cool! I'll definitely be trying to get some redfish strike footage. Here's some fun footage showing seatrout striking a lure underwater in case you haven't seen it yet: www.saltstrong.com/articles/underwater-paddletail-lure-footage/

Thanks for making time to leave the comment. Here's a cool video showing trout striking a lure underwater in case you haven't seen it yet: www.saltstrong.com/articles/underwater-paddletail-lure-footage/
Now I know why they have such explosive strike, some anglers here who left their rods unattended actually lost their fishing tackle when bait fishing for this fish.
cool. Is this in FL?
Yes. St. Petersburg, FL.
Cool.
Hello sir.🤗 What is ta best time or lowtide or high tide for mangrovesnopper?
It really depends on the specific area. There are a lot of factors.
What kind of GoPro are you using.
That looks like a vortex in front of the snappers mouth when he eats the shrimp.
I was surf fishing recently at 6am and saw schools of fish swimming and circling an area and jumping probably feeding on flies on the water surface. I tried to get a bite using top water poppers and semi sinking lures but they didn’t go for them. I tried for two hours different color lures but didn’t caught any. Was i doing something wrong? I’m new to fishing and I want to use lures most of the time over dead and live bait. I used 1.5 oz lures. Is it that some days the fish would be interested in targeting lures or something like that ? Is there a specific time period to fish with lures ?
Have u tried soft plastics ? 3 to 4 inch might works , depending on what you're trying to catch
That shrimp was swimming for his life
Behavior is different from there age time of day location and tide the 20+ inches only bite in the Am at night from my experience.. at least from miami down to the keys. They love thread herring cut in half tossed deep in the mangroves need to use really thick line cool vid dude 👍
Thanks!
This is good to know because I wonder how my shrimp disappear so quickly!! These fish aren’t as easy to catch as people think!!!
Thanks for watching!
Nice....Up..
Wow! A Red Snapper 🐟 eating Shrimp 🍤 🦐??
They love shrimp!
@@Saltstrong 😯
These fish always sneak on lures and burst away real quick , and if u guys are using live shrimps , make sure u hook on head instead of tail as it always grabs on the head first . I've spent last 3 years hunting for mangrove jack / snapper , it never fails to impress me , until to this day , regardless of their any size , it's always challenging , they grab the lure and runs quick into their covers , it's pain in the ass when you're fishing in snaggy areas
Great video. Great footage. How did you rig the bait? Like the bridge video removing the tail?
I rigged the shrimp from under the horn which is one of the most popular ways to rig them. Here's a video showing it in action: www.saltstrong.com/articles/how-to-catch-fish-with-live-shrimp-in-shallow-water/
Great fish drama. I'm entertained.
Thanks for watching!
now that surely tells the story..our rods were always sent flying into the water bfore we even had any chance to react properly..its just utter silence and then boom, the bite came..nasty bites these snappers
What I would like to see is how that Mangrove spits the hook out and attaches it to a rock :)
Wouldn't we all!
Wow
Wow I learn more here then I did in school
Haha! Thanks so much for making time to leave the nice comment!
good red salmon alaska or good red snapper ? Good Adventure
Thanks for watching!
