How To

Targeting Mutton Snapper

Targeting Mutton Snapper

For fishing offshore on reefs, use light ocean tackle with live pinfish, ballyhoo chunks, or live pilchards. When targeting these fish on shallow grassy flats, light inshore spinning tackle should be used with small jigs, plugs or live crustaceans, such as live shrimp or crabs.

Capt. Woody's Grouper Head Chowder

Perfect chowder for cold winter days, when the weather is rough, and you're stuck inside not fishing. Often times, the highest quality of meat in a fish is discarded after it is filleted. In groupers, the head bares the fattiest and richest meat in the entire fish, and when boiled down, makes an incredible broth base for fish chowder.
