Waiting for Snapper
As the action heats up offshore, Pass-A-Grille pier fishing remains slow. No snook. No redfish. And no snapper. They should have arrived a month ago! Sunday saw the arrival of some big greenbacks, so it shouldn’t be long. Meanwhile, short gags, short flounder, big blue runners and the ever-present macks provide some entertainment. With Fridays full moon, and the accompanying strong tides, things should bust loose soon.

Hey Steve,
Remember that new reel I got with 6 lb test? Yesterday I was trying to catch bait with a little gold hook and half a minnow when I got hit by a 36 inch SNOOK. I landed it! Wow, was that fun! It took ten minutes to revive before I got her back on her way. Wish you were there, I couldn’t get a photo. Good thing I had my new net, too. Have fun in Arizona… Oh yeah, the snapper are plentiful at my secret spot, but they’re still too small.

Mike,
WOW! Wish I’d seen that fight! Have fun, and… there are some BIGGER snapper down there. Trust me.
