The Chandeleur Islands are a snapper factory when conditions align. The edge is where the ship channel meets the Gulf—the depth change creates a feeding zone. Red snapper, lane snapper, and mangroves all stack up here. Drift fishing with squid and cut bait produces. Watch your depth finder for the ledge. That is where the big ones hold.
