Red Snapper

Pensacola Fishing

We caught some northern red snapper—they were biting like crazy!

We went out about three miles from the shore and started to see some action pretty quickly. We caught about 24 fish in all, but we had to throw back about half of them because they were too small or our lines broke when we tried to reel them in.

The water was calm and clear, and the sun was shining brightly. The air was still a little chilly—it's been a while since we've had this kind of weather in Pensacola! It felt great to be out on the water again.
