I am flabbergasted...had no idea these things moved into the lake. Amazing day fishing. Beautiful weather and placed 2nd in the black drum and redfish category

I've caught them off the dock in the pearl before. Was shocked then too.

Lots of juvenile mangroves in the marsh this time of year. I've been catching them on artificial around fourchon.

I've caught them in the MRGO and at the Fourchon jetties over the years. They like structure, and apparently will come close to relate to it. That said, pretty sure that's not a mangrove snapper. We used to catch those at my grandpa's in Mississippi growing up-I think it is called a grunt. My grandpa used to say people in Mississippi liked to eat grits and grunts.

Yeah, that is a pinfish, not a mangrove.

Yeah I think young mangroves are very dark

I don't think that is a mangrove.

Looks like a mangrove to me.

That's a pigfish

Not a mangrove snapper in the pic, it's a pigfish...

Congrats on the good finishes. I don't believe that's a mangrove though.
