I wonder why they have a 2 fish limit on red snapper.
so 9 people go fishing 18 fish limit, one or two dont catch any fish and who ever catches the most who ever don't catch just has to sit and watch and say well I paid my money to watch some one else catch man that would be hard to take, I bet it cost a bunch to go fishing in the big water. do not think I would like that, I know I would be the one not catching. hence not eating the snapper.
Yesn sir Mr. Beagle that would suck unless everyone got to take 2 fish home regardless of who caught it.
Thats how it works. We keep ours on a stringer and it just so happened that I caught 3 and Jerry caught 1 by the time we left. If we had caught more than our limit of 4 the rest would have went into the common pot, at least that was what I was told.Quote:

Normally the bigger snapper stay higher in the water column and the small one stay on the bottom but not Friday, the big ones were on the bottom also.Quote:

At least that is what I heard. It has hurt all the charter boats because no one really wants to pay the money for just 2 fish. But it sure has increased the size caught.Quote:
