What CH said, plus I like to go for the Mutton Snapper when in the Caribean. A 1oz. egg sinker-swivel-18" leader-2/0 circle hook baited with raw shrimp (peeled). Wade out titty nipple deep and cast as far as you can, let out slack and back up into waist deep water... wait for the fish to send you a little telegraph message via the tip of your rod, if you use the circle hook don't jerk to set the hook, just start reeling. When fish is on back up to ankle deep water to land the fish.
Take the camera and use it!!!
