Scalloping, any Crystal River Spearing numbers?

Going scalloping and wondering if anyone knows where I can find a few mangroves snappers to shoot while out scalloping. I've seen a few myself out there last year. Just want a few for the kids to shoot. Thanks guys!!

CR artificial might be shallow enough.

Theres a wooden light tower that provides good structure outside of the channel and usually has plenty of mangroves on it. Might even have a cobia on it this time of year.

So when you come out of the bay and follow the channel markers for the 2 or three miles you will then turn left coming out of them and head probably another 4-5 miles towards the scalloping grounds. If I remember correctly theres a good tower/rig like structure that usually holds some fish. I'm sure a local could do better at describing it. I do a lot of spearing there but is all 25+ miles out.

Okay, I think I know what your talking about. Just kinda floating out there? We tried to hit that and there was some SCUBA guys on it for a while...... I figured there would be something there.

Thanks again!
