    Default Mangroves

    Does anybody think they will actually become a sustainable fishery here?

    Most of the ones I've seen caught are not much bigger than a good bream, but they seem to be everywhere from the Cooper down to Port Royal.

    I'm pulling for em.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    I know some boys that have caught a bunch of them this year. Inshore, Nearshore out to 90ft.

    I have only caught them in FL. They are delicious. Cool fish, I hope they increase their range.

    This seems to be standard size for SC

    Dang....that's the biggest one I've ever seen! All the ones I've caught here have been like 6 - 7 inches long.

    Id take about a dozen of those scaled up fried whole with a side of fries and slaw!

    I caught one that size at Edisto a few months back. Talked to a guide and his numbers were in the 20s for the year. I'd like to catch a bigger one.

    Couldn't get away from them in the harbor a month ago.

    Don't kill the smaller ones then.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I let it go to terrorize someone else's mudminnows. It was under the 12" minimum, or at least I think I remember seeing that in print.

    Shit....if it's big enough to fry up whole throw him in the cooler. Ain't no size on mangrove snapper up here. Been catching them for years here fishing for spots, whiting, and croaker. They obviously leave the marsh once they get hand size.
