FISHING TITUSVILLE FOR MANGROVE SNAPPER PART 1

[@ForTheAverageAmerican]

I’m by no means a professional fisherman, but have targeted mango snapper for years, and you would have caught many more using the shrimp as live bait, not dead! Hook them under the horn where it meets the head, ( be careful of the grey spot you’ll see, that’s the brain), and the shrimp will stay alive a long time. Also, tie lines (leader and braid) together using Alberto knot. Using no swivel and the smallest hook, (#1) will produce many more fish. Mangos will hit dead bait, like your shrimp were after threading them on the hook, but they strongly prefer LIVE BAIT! I live in Titusville myself, and have fished that spot by the raised part of the Trussell, many times, and have literally loaded the boat with them! Hoping not to sound like I know it all, just trying to help! 24:26

Back around 2010 I caught what would have been a state record sale cat gafcut. It was over 13 lb and at the time the state record was well less than that I don't know if it's changed or not. No b******* I had a boat at Westlane Marina there..a trawler,.. but fish the water is all around a pontoon and a skiff. People brought it to my attention because it was so big but never called anybody.
