Fishing Tips
Cubera Snapper s can be caught with live medium size fish as bait, fished on the bottom off the edge of a wreck or artificial reef. Dead bait is not normally used. Very large red and white artificial jigs tipped with a strip of cut bait or a small squid fished off the edge of a wreck or artificial reef can sometimes entice a Cubera Snapper to strike.
