State snapper season reports

I've seen several pictures of nice snappers caught.

Snapper was cake out of venice this weekend. No point in going out before at least 10am though, very thick fog.

Who the frick are you?

Is that a polite way of asking a/s/l?

we tried to catch some smaller snapper (lane, mangrove) at the short rigs and in the process wound up boating 40-50 red snapper many of them decent sized even though we were in <80' of water. caught our keepers out in 350' though.

you can't fish with dead bait in LA without boating a thousand of those frickers. we were wading through them to try and get at other fish.

Damn sounds like easy limits for anyone that tried. Can't wait to get some fish in the new to me boat

Just be careful going in/out the river, because the fog comes and goes at a moments notice. Make sure you know how to use a radar, or be prepared to beg people over the radio for an escort home. High water in the river = a lot of debris, too.

ETA: btw the river traffic channel is 13. emergency is 16.

We essentially gave up on redfishing along the coast b/c of the fog and said screw it lets try snapper. headed south/east until we hit 100ft of water and went to the closest rig and dropped some squid and caught snappers with ease

Like i said there was plenty of snapper. Saw plenty of people cleaning them at various camps and marinas. But those sharks
