kayak snook fishing

This past week presented some challenging conditions with several windy days, but when I was able to get on the water, the fishing was excellent for the most part.

Key Highlights
– Snook and redfish were plentiful and cooperative, with several nice catches reported.
– Trout fishing was also productive, with fish hitting topwaters in shallow waters and erratically worked or falling baits in deeper areas.

Effective Lures and Techniques
– 4-inch Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ paddle tails rigged on 1/8 oz jigs proved effective for snook and redfish.
– Topwaters worked well for trout in shallow waters, while erratically worked or falling baits presentations were successful in deeper areas.

Weekend Outlook
– Winds are expected to pick up again this weekend, making it essential to find wind-protected areas to fish.

Tips and Recommendations
– Focus on finding sheltered spots, such as mangrove-lined shores or creeks.
– Be prepared to adapt your fishing techniques and presentations to suit the changing conditions.

Stay safe and tight lines!
