Tips for Yellowtail & Mutton Snapper Fishing

Yellowtail Snappers are found in the tropical and subtropical regions of all the oceans. One of the most popular and best eating of the snapper species, the yellowtail snapper, ranges as far north as the Treasure Coast but are in greatest abundance in the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. During days around the full moon, you will probably have excellent catches of the mutton snappers.

Yellowtail snapper is one of the best eating fish in the entire tropical roster of fish only eclipsed by the pricey yellowfin tuna steaks. The small size of the fish adds only to its succulent taste. Typical catches of yellowtail range from 10-12 lb size. This fish is so versatile that it can be cooked in any number of ways with any number of sauces & still come out superbly delicious.

Yellowtails are characterized by a yellow mid body stripe that extends into its yellow tail. The sleek and abundant yellowtail snapper swims in loose groups well off the bottom. There is a 12-inch minimum size limit and 10 snapper aggregate bag limit. for catching yellowtails. June is usually a good time, weather permitting, for night offshore fishing for mangrove, lane and yellowtail snapper.

Bait for Yellowtail fishing and mutton Snappers - Weighted live bait will produce grouper & mutton snapper sometimes following in the chum slick. Depending on the time of year you might also catch kingfish and cero mackerel. Use live ballyhoo whenever possible. Mutton snapper fishing will be better with live bait.

When yellowtails pull and drag on 20 pound spin tackle, you know you have a good yellowtail on. Cut pieces of squid, small pilchards, and even live shrimp are productive baits for yellowtail snapper. Sardines, silverside and glass minnows will also work well. Yellowtail fishing can be a lot of fun for anglers of all ages

You'll also need frozen chum to put in bags to chum up the water behind the boat. Chum up the water heavily at first. When you start to get a good bite of yellowtail, ease off on the chum so that they will feed on the bait of your hook.

How to Sandball for Yellowtails & Flat Lining - Filet your ballyhoo & squid & then cut them into strips. Then mix your chum & sand for sandballs - 60% sand & 40% chum. Make sure your chum is oily. Always add the chum to the sand. Mix chum until there are no dry areas. Mixing some oats into the sand/chum will help you catch more yellowtail.

Put the hooked ballyhoo bait into the middle of a sandball. Wrap your line around the sandball & then throw your bait out into the chum slick. Let the line feed out as the current goes until you feel the fish strike the line & pull on your bait.

Fishing Tackle - Use the smallest hooks, 1/0 or smaller, you can find & small conventional reels. Shimano 10 lb spinners for fighting those yellowtail, so everyone gets to enjoy the challenge. We also recommend bright colored jigs to attract the fish.

12- 15 lb test line is the best for these fish. Use a pink line so that the fish cannot see the line in the water. A #4 hook up to a 1/0 and a 1/8 oz weight will be best on your rig for flat lining or sandballing.

Finding Yellowtail - Look for a sharp drop off on the edge of the reef. This is where you will find small stacks of fish & plenty of bottom life to support the bait fish. Your Loran or GPS will tell you where the best drop offs are.

A lot of families today are looking for a way to reconnect with their children. A great way to disconnect from the wear and tear of daily life is to pull up stakes, pack some tents and a cooler and head out camping. The break from electronics and the letting go of pressures to run free in the outdoors is a fantastic gift to give your children, and camping will most likely leave an impression of fond memories with your kids for years to come.

Being outdoors is the best way to let loose and relax with your family for a night or three. Life has become so fast paced that we can hardly think at times, but camping gives us all a chance to forget about our busy lives for a little bit. Kids absolutely love camping because they get to explore the wilderness first hand. They are free to roam the surrounding area, swim in the nearby lake, catch fish with their Dad, and help cook with only the basics. It is a whole family experience when you go camping.

There are other benefits to family life that camping provides. Being away from the bustle and daily grind is often relaxing for parents, and the tension flows away, leaving kids wondering who replaced their harried, too-busy-right-now mother and father with these mellowed out people. In return, the pressure of performing easing up, kids will most likely be far more pleasant and obedient, willingly helping out with cool chores like fetching water to wash dishes in a plastic pan, or sweeping sand and dirt out from inside the tent. Usual annoyances like brushing teeth will become novel experiences for your kids and they'll probably end up reminding you that it's time to take them down to the public bathrooms to have a shower.

One more great thing about camping is the fun places and things your kids get to do. A night looking at stars is fun for all, as is an afternoon in the fishing boat or a hike along the water's edge. Kids, lost in the excitement of their camping adventures, will also be learning new skills throughout all of this. They can witness you make a campfire from the wood they collected, or cook dinner using just the bare essentials. They will undoubtedly discover that perhaps all of the luxuries they have become accustomed to in their daily life are not so necessary after all.

While camping, your children will discover facets of their parents they never knew of, and parents will also see that their children, away from home and in the fresh air and sun of the outdoors, really aren't video-addicted creatures with no more motivation than the newest Xbox game or latest DVD out on store shelves. Camping trips can strip away the craziness of a fast-paced, throwaway society, revealing good natured people enjoying life and each other's company just because they can.
