The Run Down On Coastal Capers
Reeling in massive winter Snapper off the rocks is an art form within itself. With location, tides, and time of day all playing a factor in finding success, the dance between angler and snapper can be as technical as it gets. To help you when you're out on the rocks, we asked a few professionals to go through the essential tips and tricks for targeting a trophy Snapper. Nobody knows rock fishing better than Tony Wood from Moocher Hunters who has been pulling in 20 pound plus Snapper regularly for years now. We took a trip with him to pick up some tips and tricks on how the pros get it done. But there isn't much use in knowing the techniques if you don't have the right gear for the job so we asked Mike Knight from OTL (On Top Lures) to give us his thoughts on Daiwa's Free Swimmer BR and how he best puts it to use when fishing off the rocks.
