Some fish are particular and some will go after anything. The mutton snapper loves a good grunt plug.
Mutton and mangrove snapper (along with other great bottom fish) really go after a “grunt plug”. Having the right live bait at your bottom fishing spot can mean the difference between a great day fishing and a disappointing outing on the water.
