We have been finding easy limits of red snapper over wrecks in Main Pass in 160 feet of water. We had our limit for the last 4 trips before 10am each day with anywhere from 3-5 gag grouper as well. Been fishing live hardtails and tuna bellies for the grouper and trout and amberjack bellies for the snapper. Entered the weekend tournament and won with a 26 pound snapper for this year's shootout. We have been saving the afternoon to catch more amberjack and grouper with a few cobia mixed in. Been averaging 5 grouper per last 4 trips. The jacks have been easy while grouper fishing platforms in 250-300 feet of water. The cobia have been either on top or following hooked fish from the bottom. Cut bait and jigs have been nailing the curious cobia. Largest fish went 40 pounds...Paradise Outfitters - 504-451-7579
