I have fished snappers from Sunken Meadow jetty and had at least two run offs which I'm sure were larger blues. Bass should eat them too. I was hooking them right around the dorsal with a single hook but if I were to try it again, I would use an additional treble stinger also in the back, just before the tail.
Fishing Live Snappers on the North Shore
Each year there are lots of snappers around the Huntington area where I fish. I tried once drifting snappers for fluke with no luck. Now I am wondering if a striped bass -or even a larger bluefish, might enjoy a fresh caught snapper. Has anyone had success fishing fresh caught snapper for Bass - do they enjoy them, -how should I rig them? Any advice would be super.
