ive had luck fishing them for large ocean blues on a float suspended where the fish are. Also use then for tuna with great success.
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.

I hook them lightly just behind the dorsal. By lightly i mean with a thin hook so that it doesnt hit the back bone. The farther back hook position tends to cause the fish to swim deeper. Good Luck.
