Big school of large Red Snapper, diving Port Canaveral, Florida

A good friend of ours Andy Fish out of Port Canaveral, Florida shot this video. In it you can see somewhere around 100 or more large red snapper swimming around the top and in a very common public wreck sunk in 100 feet of water. The video was made April 24th, 2010 only a few months after a complete East Coast closure on red snapper. We have heard many similar reports of mass amounts of red snapper on public reefs and wrecks up and down the coast. I’m not sure a full closure is really necessary and surely is not good for the economy.

Check out the video.
