We are fortunate every year to book a private 36-hour trip with Matt from Smith and Son Charters on the Bluefin out of Freeport during red snapper season for snapper, tuna and anything else! The weather, fishing reports, current and wind always dictate what we can or cannot do. This year we were able to chase red snapper and hit a wide-open tuna bite. In this part of the trip, we are fishing for red snapper with live bait, โseafood buffetsโ and snapper slappers, we ended up one fish short of our two-day limit by the end of the day!
To make it easy for you to find the products that I use in my videos, I have become an Amazon affiliate so that I can add links to the products that I use. I do make a commission from each sale, but have hopefully created a one stop shop for you to find everything that you need! If Amazon does not carry the product or the price is crazy, I listed links where you can find them or just listed the names so you can grab them at your local tackle store.
