As long as you make it back in the 10 mile zone your fine!!

There is zero shortage of red snapper in the gulf of mexico , every platform I have worked at in waters from 60-150 ft have been loaded with snapper

Late last year we went out to catch mangroves. We were catching red snapper on the surface. There was no way to get past em. I think there is an over population on most of the rigs. We had some young boys on the boat so we were going to troll to let them fight a couple of kings. Guess what we caught red snapper trolling rapala deep diving plugs! Never seen that before.
