Mangroves Biting

Sunday Morning, Mangrove Snapper Fishing near St. Pete Pier. On the Water by 6:00am, still dark, cool, and calm waters and the Snapper was biting. We headed straight to the submerged piles that we knew would hold fish and after we anchored and dropped the first bait in the water we knew that our fish finder wasn't lying when we started marking fish all over the structure. I immediately landed a Pretty, but Small Gag Grouper and then we started landing Snappers. 13-14 inchers and after a few Larger ones broke off we knew we were on the right spot. approximately 5 other boats were near us but none were bringing in fish that we could see and we knew we had arrived before everyone and picked out the right spot. About 2 hours of some good fishing the bite stopped and we moved around to see if there was anything else biting with no luck. All and all a good day of fishing and we got back in time to see the Bucs Finish off the Dolphins. Tight Lines
