It is for sure hard to beat that!

I appreciate that! You guys got some good fishing out there !!!!

Yes sir! Hope you can get on some this season!!!

You too Darrell! How can we stay in touch to have you out with us ??

I'll have to check those out! Thank you for the comment!!

Thank you!

You guys have some awesome fishing up there! We're trying our hand in St Augustine this year so hopefully I can bring some tips we learn over to the Gulf!

We use either 80lb or 100lb depending on which reel. On the spinning reel I have it's got 80lb and the conventional reels we have 100lb. Thanks for leaving the comment !!

The farther the better to be honest. I know a hot bite is in about 80 miles offshore

Hey man! For public spots, I would try Buckeye Reef which is in about 50 feet of water/30 miles offshore. I have also found a few Red Snapper out at a place called "The Crack" and also the "Super Ledge". You MAY be able to find some fish there but if you really want to get into a good Snapper bite, you may have to venture out into 70+ feet, there's just not many public spots out that far other than the Top Spot maps. I would hit up Sea Hag or one of the local bait and tackle stores to see if they have any Top Spot maps or local intel. I know for a fact the Snapper are pretty deep now, but Buckeye produces some other quality fish as well. Good luck, let me know how you do!

Ok awesome I’ll check those out for sure. How far of a run is it from 50 feet to 70 feet?

@@ontheseaorupatree5432 it's about another 20 miles. Check out Navionics chart online and you can also find some good bottom contour a few miles southwest of buckeye. Also, if you head out about 30 miles at a bearing of 230 there is contour all along that holds really good bottom
