What is a
Snapper Snatcher?
Fishing buddies?
Yes, but more than that.
There are many fishing clubs
comprised of hard-core sport fisherman that put a lot more time and effort
into it than we do. We aren’t really pursuing any record catches, but
one can always hope!
Classmates from the 60’s?
That too; but it’s more than
that.
In 2001, the year we all
turned 50, we wanted to plan some sort of reunion to commemorate this
milestone and after discarding several other ideas, decided to have a
weekend of gulf fishing and fun in Destin, Florida.
Over-the-hill party animals trying
to recapture their lost youth?
Hah! We would never admit to that!
Although the
concept
was born about 2:30 AM somewhere between AJ’s and the Hog’s Breath Saloon.
Think of it as a “state of mind”, kind of like “Margaritaville” is to a
Parrothead. A commitment amongst old friends (who know too many dark
secrets in each others past) - maybe like a male version of the Ya-ya
Sisterhood; and above all, an appreciation of the sort of good times the
Gulf Coast is famous for.
This web site is really a leap of faith for us. The Original Snapper Snatchers have such a blast
when we get together for our fishing trips, we thought we would attempt to share some of that
good cheer with our friends and new acquaintances. On this site you will not be accosted with
pop-ups and banner ads or a lot of flash and sales pressure. Our intent is to provide some good
seafood
recipes, share fishing
pictures, provide you with some interesting
links,
have fun and maybe sell enough
T-shirts to defray the cost
of keeping this site alive!
