How do you catch yellowtail snapper?

Yellowtail are the most sought after, maybe the most prolific and perhaps the most finicky of the snapper family. Yellowtail can be either very rewarding, or they can make you want to pull you hair out. So break out your spinning rod loaded with 12 to 20 pound test and use a #2 or #4 short shank hook, and put on shrimp, cut ballyhoo, or fresh bonita.

Use only enough bait to cover the hook. Start a chum line, and drift your bait with the chum, making it drift as natural as possible. (it must look like the chum) Yellowtail also eat jigs!

Use small jigs and preferably yellow or chartreuse. You can also use sand balls, but typically this will produce smaller fish. They can be caught on shallow patches, reef line and terrain or wrecks out to 150 feet.

The hottest spots will be 50 to 95 feet of water, and the best time is spring and early summer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
