These guys were fishing the oil rigs in the offshore waters off Grand Isle. The
Mangrove Snapper's are a wary fish, and to catch them it take a light line,
small sinker or no sinker at all is better. If you chum the water around the
rigs this will bring the big guys up like in these pictures, and the light rig
will do the trick. I went out one day with a friend of mine and we chummed the
water, and free lined Cacohoe minnows and I had too light of a rig and I haven't
landed one of them yet These big Mangrove Snappers will put a wrinkle in
you rod.

Jeff
Ratliff and his buddies from
Picayune, MS, nice Mangrove Snappers and Lemon fish
This is one nice
Mangrove Snapper, these guys can be hard to catch without a little know
how.
Lemon Fish, this
is one dumb fish, they will hit just about any bait, artificial
lures, live bait and cut bait, the best bait I have
heard of to catch the brutes is the good old hardhead catfish, and By
the way they are great eating, This fish is called, "The Chicken Of The
Sea".
Lets do something
here, if anyone knows of a good way to catch these big Mangrove Snappers
and Lemon fish then send us your tips and tricks and lets share some
knowledge with others. I'm sure they would love going home with an ice chest full of
fillets. Both of these fish are excellent table fare. Come on down the
fish are biting, good job Jeff.
