barbecue pit one of the tastiest. Are these large fish as territorial as once thought , I'm not so sure, as you will find that these fish are found quite regularly at most of the platforms off the Louisiana Coast. What is interesting is over the years after paying close attention Capt. Mike Frenette will locate large Sow Snapper at a particular platform only to find these fish disappear in a few days, moving to their next platform. Simply making a circle closely around the platform before you begin fishing, paying strict attention to
your fish recorder will normally allow you to determine if the big snapper are there. Once you have located the snapper you will have also determined at what level theses fish are swimming in for that particular day or time frame . A hint, keep your recorder on at all times because if the bite should slow look at your monitor and see if the level of where the snapper once were has changed. Using light tackle of coarse like this monster that as caught on the Teaser has some limitations one being hopefully you will locate fish somewhere in the range of 40-100 feet below your boat, any deeper heavier tackle is normally required This particular snapper was caught on a bonito strip, but other baits of
choice are mullet, pogy, cigar minnows and squid. For large snapper all these baits should be used in a whole state. Now when you first hook these large sow The Teaser Fishing Team recommends for the first 30 seconds apply as much pressure on these large fish keeping there head turned towards you and not the platform . |
