JJ4MEL: If you watch their live cam upon return of the Capt. Paul after the 4-hour trips, you'll seldom see many red snapper. Lots of sharks, rays and sand trout. When they ran the 8-hour state water trips, the red snapper catches were usually good. I wouldn't waste my time and money on a 4-hour trip. IslandJim
Oh heck no, I wouldn't waste any money on the 4 hour. Those are mostly sight seeing trips. When I was down their last week, they said all they are targeting mostly now is the vermilion snapper due to all the snowbirds wanting to get those. I was down there 4 days and nobody would go out to target anything else unless you paid for a 24-36 hour trip. Fishing from the jetties stunk even worse with the occasion sheephead caught with live shrimp against the rocks. Oversized black drum were being caught off the piers in Fulton and Goose Island, but that was about it.
