How to catch snapper in Autumn

Autumn is a great time to catch snapper. I am Gonging run through some of the tackle that you’ll need to catch a snapper. While Lures are great for catching snapper. if you’re a beginner fishing it is probably not something you should look out straight away. To be honest I can’t think of a many situation’s where Lures are better to catch a snapper then Bait. The best chance to catch a snapper would be via bait and hook.

 

What Are the Best Snapper Bait’s?

It’s good to have a big range of baits on any day the the snapper can feed on different foods by having all different baits gives you a good chance to catch. when starting session start off by putting a different bait on each hook on your Spread of rods.

Tackle you MUST Have to catch a Snapper.

over the years of used various tackle to catch snapper. Light & heavy tackle. you want to get yourself a well-balanced fishing rod combo. I feel if you invest in something a little bit higher quality you get a better return for your money over a long period of time. so when buying fishing tackle I really recommend buying the best tackle that you can afford.
As I’ve been fishing for snapper long time this is the tackle I use and I’ll list it below. my fishing rod I like a fishing rod that’s made of graphite that’s between 6 to 8 kilos and I like a fast action so that means that the rod is a little bit stiff.
Fishing Rod is Shimano Sonic pro 6-8 kilos.
My fishing reel I use for snapper is a bait runner D6000 by Shimano.
I spool my fishing reel’s with 17lb Berkley Trilene Sensation Fishing Line.
On my boat I have four rods per person. on three of the fishing rods the setups will be “Snell twin hook rigs ” Hooks used Reedy’s 187 suicide hooks And they’ll be a size 1 ball singer and a green bead. and on the 4th rod I’ll be using a different type of rig it’s called an ultra rig by Reedy’s rig. The video below to demonstrate how to tie this rig. and also show the reedy rig in Action.
