Best Answer

Yellowtail are the most sought after, maybe the most prolific and perhaps the most finicky of the snapper family. Yellowtail can be either very rewarding, or they can make you want to pull you hair out. So break out your spinning rod loaded with 12 to 20 pound test and use a #2 or #4 short shank hook, and put on shrimp, cut ballyhoo, or fresh bonita. Use only enough bait to cover the hook. Start a chum line, and drift your bait with the chum, making it drift as natural as possible. (it must look like the chum) Yellowtail also eat jigs! Use small jigs and preferably yellow or chartreuse. You can also use sand balls, but typically this will produce smaller fish. They can be caught on shallow patches, reef line and terrain or wrecks out to 150 feet. The hottest spots will be 50 to 95 feet of water, and the best time is spring and early summer.

What does redfish taste like?

Yellowtail snapper has a very distinct flavor. It does not taste like red snapper or grouper, rather having a tangy flavor and a distinct fluffiness when pan seared. Best served pan seared, fried or whole with garlic (make sure no scales). In my opinion, yellowtail is the best tasting snapper next to silk snapper however it does not last very long when frozen.
