King mackerel and mangrove snapper are available for anglers fishing the 50 to 90 foot reefs and wrecks. Frozen bait will work on both species if live baits are not available. Of course, you will have to weed through the red snapper while targeting the mangroves on most days. Light leaders and small hooks will get you more bites on the mangroves than standard bottom tackle. Captain Justin Ross and I usually drop our leader down from 60 to 80 lb. test down to 25 to 30 lb. test on these keen-eyed fish.
