There are two main types of snapper you can catch in Galveston: red snapper and mangrove snapper.
Red Snapper
- Typically found around artificial reefs, wrecks, and natural structures on the Gulf floor
- Requires a Galveston deep sea fishing trip (offshore) due to the depths they inhabit (around 120 feet or more)
- Managed fishery with seasonal regulations (typically June 1st to July end) – you can catch them outside the season but not keep them
Mangrove Snapper
- More common inshore, around the Galveston jetties, passes, and near structure
- Can be caught from shore, piers, or kayaks
- Smaller than red snapper
- More readily available throughout the year
