You probably know by now that we have an additional Red Snapper season this year, now that NOAA has declared the waters safe for fishing. Every weekend from October 1 – November 21 we will be out in force with charters ready to go. And the fish should be biting like crazy. The early season only yielded about a third of the normal Red Snapper catch. That means the fish are bigger, bolder and more abundant.
If you are not familiar with Red Snapper you should know that they are prolific throughout the Gulf of Mexico but love the artificial reefs of Alabama. They generally stay in waters from 30 to 200 feet, but with so many this season, they are sure to be found at all depths. They tend to travel in large schools so charters are great for putting you right in the middle of the action. Snappers are great fighters, making them a lot of fun to catch and they have a lot of flavor to enjoy after the battle.
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to head down to Orange Beach to catch your limit.
