Super User South FLA Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 My buddy Justin called and said the Snook bite should be on and he was right! We had so much fun we went out the next night too, with our friend Ron! We ended up with about 20 total snook over the two nights and a few other "junk" fish (JACKS) that were also tons of fun to catch. Unfortunately, snook season is closed, but they are still great fighters! Oh, all were on lures, live bait is for CHEATERS, lol! 4 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Tell Ron his was definitely the biggest. Nice job. Quote

OkeechobeeAngler Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Great catches. I so miss catching snook. Can't wait to get back to Florida in August. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Good times and nice fish! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Those are nice snook Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Linesiders are on my bucket list of fish to target if I ever get to Florida one day. Sounds like you hada great couple of nights on the water! Quote

Snook are awesome. Almost like saltwater bass...we fish for them much same way. Spooks, crankbaits, swimbaits, jerkbaits, jigs. I use my bass gear for them. When a 20lb snook smashes your spook on a calm morning, you better make sure you've used the restroom already. Quote

Robert, Thanks for the heads up on these pictures,looks like a lot of fun. Nice Round Reel you have there as well. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 Hmm... Didn't see this thread two months ago. If the season was closed, why were you fishing for them? Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted August 23, 2013 Super User Posted August 23, 2013 Hmm... Didn't see this thread two months ago. If the season was closed, why were you fishing for them? Closed season in the ocean means you can catch them but not keep them. Much different that freshwater, where targeting a fish in closed season in forbidden! Jeff Quote

You do what ya gotta do. Choice pretty easy for me to make, struggle in the hot sun to catch 2# bass this time of year, or go to the ocean with nice comfortable breeze with a chance of catching a 20 or 30 pound snook. Catching a slot even in season isn't easy, many of the fishing are running more 32", but it's more than snook. Tarpon run with snook and a tarpon are in a different league. Quote

All our snook were quickly pictured and released after making sure they could right themselves and swim off. As soon as the season opens, the bite usually turns off, go figure! 1 Quote
