Later in the year it is pretty nice when the winds stop and the tide is not moving much. i bet you could get 20+ feet around there may be more on the right day. i would like to dive it as well. |

Nope!!! 
The only thing you can't shoot with a speargun is a gamefish IN State waters. Red snapper are not considered a gamefish, so shoot away!! Once outside State waters, the bag and size limit change to the Feds, but you can still shoot them.
Either location, just make sure what you shoot is legal size, because there ain't not catch-and-release when it comes to spearfishing.  |

Oh I know, I remember being a little turned-around back in Light-house lakes, and then shooting out of a thick mangrove maze right into Lydia Ann. I remember seeing huge tankers and thinking "Hmm...this isn't where I parked!" You can count me in, but if fish back int he lakes again I am bringing a compass or gps

| Yeah - a GPS earns its keep and cost in the Lighthouse lakes - even with their waypoints. I think best would be to save all of their waypoints in the GPS BEFORE going in. |
