Recipe Of The Month: Mangrove Snapper Quesadillas

 I had a couple of days off and had been talking to Carol about how we have been catching MangroveSnapper so she put in to take a fun fishing trip. We fished an incoming tide and it was a bit slow, although we did catch a couple of small Seatrout and a small Redfish. Then, as the tide got up, we made the short run to a Mangrove Snapper fishing hole and tossed jigs and shrimp and sure enough, they began to bite. We stayed long enough to get our limit then headed in with plans to make some Mangrove Snapper Quesadillas:
