If anyone is considering making a trip out of Orange Beach during this "special" snapper season, you need to go. The snapper fishing is the best I have ever seen in 20 years, and probably the best ever.
It's tough to catch a big fish because you can't keep the 8-15# snapper off the bait long enough for a sow to find it. If you go try a whole fillet off of a 10-12# bonito or king mackeral or a large (like 1# plus) live bait.
