Red Snapper is a highly sought-after catch on our fishing charter here in Orange Beach, Alabama. These impressive fish can grow up to 40 inches long and weigh as much as 50 lbs, although most catches typically range from 1.5 to 10 lbs. Although, 30 lb catches are not uncommon. Known for their mild, sweet, and nutty flavor, Red Snapper features firm, white flesh that is both moist and delicate. It is often compared to tilapia in texture. For the best chance of landing this delicious fish, we recommend a 6+ hour trip using bottom fishing methods. Our experienced guide, Captain Chip Day will help ensure a successful fishing adventure aboard Chipper’s Clipper. Book your trip today!
