We fished this weekend out of Venice, first time for me and two sons. Fished in East Bay, never left state water, 37 to 44 feet. Kept 30 mangrove, 6 red snapper, 6 redfish (1 bull). Fish not kept, one black tip(still swimming with gaff), one bull shark, and two gag grouper( each about 15 in). We were chumming and fishing near the surface, just seems shallow for some species.
some of the biggest snapper I've seen were at platforms in under 80ft of water. People always pass them up.
If I ever rod-n-reel fish snapper I love to chum em up to the surface and fight on light tackle

Of the 30 mangrove caught, 10 were betwenn 7.5 & 9.5 lbs. Had another 10/12 that would have been large also, lost to rig. The first two/three seconds was crucial.
