Mangrove Snapper Fishing (Making some Ceviche!)

Awesome day before Tropical Storm Eta comes in… Brandon, Astrid, and myself caught some nice mangrove snappers.  A perfect little half day option.  Then we made some great Peruvian ceviche!  Make sure to subscribe to our channel if you like what you see!

Monster snook for Pops!

Fun day with my dad and brother Nick.  We got into some good snook, dad got the biggest however!  Also we cook one that was gut hooked and give it a try – my first time having snook to eat!

Early October Epic Snook Fishing!

Got out yesterday with my dad, Richard Sr. and our friend Russ.  It was a prefrontal, calm condition – very good for big snook in our area.   These fish we definitely don’t get all the time, and a lot of times they just aren’t an option if the wind is too much or wrong direction.  But before a front like we had, with a calm northerly breeze, it is ideal.  We fished several areas, and many of them had life.  We caught 3 very large snook over 15 lbs, one that was personal best I think close to 28 lbs!  Also quite a few medium/large size fish in the 8 to 12 lb range.  We also got a nice juvenile tarpon early on, and about a half dozen redfish.  Quite an epic day in the backcountry.  We have a lot of wind kicking up now with the front here and lots of rain today (Saturday).  But looks to clear up tomorrow.  It’ll be a bit of a windy week, but should still have good general fishing.  I have some days open come the third week of October (just had a 3 day cancellation, so 19 through 23 are available as of now).  Give me a shout, it’s a great time of year to fish!
