These distinctive fish display pink-red or silvery-pink coloration with characteristic yellow-tipped red fins and silver-bottomed bodies featuring pink and yellow lines that run end to end like lanes.

These schooling fish are often found in groups around structure, making them ideal targets for Port Orange charter fishing.
Lane Snapper Habitat and Distribution
These snappers prefer coral reefs, artificial reefs, and sandy bottom areas from shallow inshore waters to depths of 120 feet. Around Port Orange, they're commonly found in 40 to 80 feet of water near natural and artificial reef systems.
