South Florida Red Snapper Inshore Pisces Fishing

10-Hour Red Snapper Fishing Trip

Looking for a serious day of fishing in South Florida waters? This 10-hour Red Snapper trip with Pisces Fishing & Adventures is exactly what you need. We're talking about a full commitment here – 6:00 AM departure, back around 4:00 PM, and nothing but prime fishing time in between. This isn't some half-day tourist run; it's designed for anglers who want to get after it and put some quality fish in the cooler. Running from June 1st through July 31st, 2026, this trip hits the sweet spot of Red Snapper season when these fish are most active and hungry.

What to Expect on the Water

You'll be fishing solo with one of our experienced captains who knows these South Florida waters like the back of their hand. That means personalized attention and coaching if you need it, plus the flexibility to adapt based on what's working best that day. We're running a single-angler setup, so you won't be fighting for rod time or waiting your turn when the bite heats up. The captain will position you over productive bottom structure where Red Snapper like to hang out – think ledges, rocks, and artificial reefs where baitfish congregate. Expect to be fishing in 60 to 120 feet of water, depending on conditions and where the fish are showing up on the electronics. Pack your own lunch and plenty of water because we'll be out there grinding when other boats are heading back to the dock.

Bottom Fishing Techniques

Red Snapper fishing is all about precise bottom presentation and feeling what's happening down there. We'll be using conventional tackle with circle hooks and enough weight to keep your bait planted on the structure. The captain will have the boat positioned perfectly over the reef or ledge, and you'll drop down cut bait or live pinfish depending on what's producing. The key is keeping tight contact with the bottom while staying ready for that distinctive Red Snapper bite – they don't mess around when they grab your bait. You'll feel a solid thump, then steady pressure as they try to get back to their cover. The fight is what makes these fish special; they're powerful and stubborn, using every bit of structure they can find to break you off. Circle hooks are required by regulation, so we'll make sure you understand the technique of letting the fish hook itself rather than setting the hook hard like you would with J-hooks.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Red Snapper are the crown jewel of Gulf and Atlantic bottom fishing, and for good reason. These fish are built like tanks – thick shoulders, powerful jaws, and an attitude to match. In South Florida waters, you're looking at fish ranging from keeper-sized 16-inchers up to true trophy specimens pushing 10 pounds or more. The best part about fishing during our June-July window is that this coincides with their peak feeding activity as water temperatures stabilize in the upper 70s and low 80s. Red Snapper are structure-oriented fish, meaning they live around reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottom where they can ambush prey and find shelter. What makes them so exciting to catch isn't just their fighting ability – though they'll test your drag and your patience – it's also that they're simply outstanding table fare. The firm, white meat has a clean, slightly sweet flavor that's perfect for grilling, frying, or making into fish tacos. During this season, the fish are feeding heavily on small baitfish, shrimp, and crabs, which means they're aggressive and willing to bite if you put the right presentation in front of them.
