What’s So Special About Red Snapper Fishing?

From seasoned fishermen to first-time anglers, red snappers are well-known! These unique game fish are incredibly popular in seafood joints across the globe, preferred for their mild and sweet taste. Yet, taste alone isn’t the only reason so many people choose to fish for red snapper with Tradewinds Fishing Charters. Red snapper fishing is unique due to:

  • The Challenge of the Catch – Reeling in a red snapper is no simple feat. Red snappers are fighters, bending and breaking rods of less-prepared anglers. Thankfully, even if you don’t think you have the strength to pull in one of these slippery fish, Tradewinds Fishing Charters crew can lend a hand!
  • Exceptional Trophy Fish – Red snappers are beautiful fish characterized by their distinct red eyes and skin. Some reach up to 40 inches in length and weigh over 50 pounds, making them a highly sought-after trophy fish for fishermen worldwide. Even snapping a picture with one of these incredible fish is enough to impress those you show.
  • They’re Always Biting – During prime red snapper season in summer (June 1 to July 31) or fall (September 1 to November 30), the waters off the coast are teeming with large snapper. Tradewinds Fishing Charters knows all the best spots for catching red snapper and can guarantee a day of fishing where the fish practically jump into the boat!
  • We Clean What You Catch – When you fish with Tradewinds Fishing Charters, we help clean what you catch. After returning to shore, we will fillet your red snapper on the dock. You can either bring it home to enjoy later or take it to one of the many restaurants around St. Petersburg that will cook your fish for you.
