They are perfect for bottom fishing and are home to many Snapper and Grouper species including the much sought after Red Snapper, large schools of Mangrove Snapper and huge Goliath Groupers and Warsaw Groupers. Preying on the schools of fish on the reefs are Amberjack, Sharks, Barracudas, Cobia and Tarpon.
