Hernando Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report

Mangrove Snapper have dominated the Grouper lately. This summer has blessed us with two to three pound Mangrove's. Most are caught on the bottom while fishing for Grouper and some are caught on spinning tackle near the surface. Chumming with small scaled sardines really gets them excited and near the surface. During the day the snapper will eat for a short time; however at night they continue to chew for hours.
