snook fighting at night

This week’s nighttime snook fishing was on fire! Targeting mangrove shorelines with active bait was the key to landing some impressive snook. Small 3-3.5″ paddle tails, retrieved slowly, proved to be the winning combination.

Looking ahead to the next week, the forecast isn’t ideal. With increased winds and dropping temperatures, I recommend focusing on wind-protected creeks to find more favorable fishing conditions. In these areas, small paddle tails and artificial shrimp should be good choices to entice a bite. Stay safe and tight lines!
