snapper year-round. Concentrate on the high-profile ledges and rock piles in
these depths and tackle down, as these fish are wary and usually pass on baits
presented with large leads and heavy leaders.
**Tackle:** Small, lightweight spinning rods are a great way to catch snapper.

consists of a 6- to 8-foot length of 20- to 30-pound fluorocarbon leader. If
the tide is running, a half- to three-quarter-ounce lead should be placed
