snook season

It’s snook season! The big ones are becoming more user friendly now that the water temps have risen into the mid 70-degree range. Live pilchards, croakers and menhaden are top baits to use right now. A few of these fish have been keepers as well. Our best action this past week is during the morning outgoing tide. They tend to shut down during the middle of the day, then start back up on the afternoon incoming tide.

Captain Justin and I have also been catching a lot of 4 to 8 pound class black drum on some of the near-coastal reefs. We’ve had multiple days with 15 to 20 drum landed, and one group of clients landed over 40 drum on their trip. Mix in a few sheepshead, redfish, black margate and mangrove snapper and you’ve got the makings of a great day of fishing. The fishing is just getting better and better, so come book a fishing charter with Captain Justin or myself and let’s get out there and catch you next memory!
