John's Journal... Entry 190, Day 1 SNAPPER, GROUPER, AMBERJACK AND KINGFISH OFF LOUISIANA'S GULF COAST Louisiana's Snapper EDITOR'S NOTE: Richard Harris, from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, fishes on the Southern Kingfishing Association (SKA) circuit. He runs an R & R Express 32 Donzi ZF that's designed to take rough water at high speeds. He cruises at 42 to 45 miles per hour or runs wide open at 60 miles per hour with His twin Mercury 225 Opti-Max engines. Harris's boat has two speeds -- dead stop and wide-open. I fished with Harris and had a terrific time. Question: Richard, where did we fish for snapper yesterday?
Question:
Take us down the fishing line. How do you rig to fish for snapper? I run the hook through the pogie's eyes first. I pull the hook all the way through the body, and then I put the hook through the top of the back. This way, I have a double hook on the pogie. Then if I pull one time and miss the fish, by double hooking, my bait will more likely stay on if I miss the fish. Question:
How do you catch a snapper? Question: What is the limit on snapper here? Question:
What's the best day of snapper fishing you've ever had? To learn more about fishing off Mississippi's Gulf Coast, call (800) WARMEST, or visit www.visitmississippi.org. TOMORROW: TARGETING GROUPER
