Mangrove Snapper (POC)

Anyone else catching mangrove snapper in our bay systems. Never thought there would be so many of these snapper so close to port. Fishing this weekend out of Port O'Connor, actually within site of POC, we caught well over 30 of these pesky little critters from 6"-12". They sure do fight for a small fish. We ended up taking enough home for supper, man they sure are tasty. Not sure why TPWD does not have any type of regulation on these species of snapper.

Different fish/different regs

Could be wrong about this but I was told mangrove and lane snapper are the same thing - and there's an 8" minimum on them...
