Fishing News Flash

In a normal year, the first snook of spring are trypically caught in late March or early April.  As May came and went, there were few snook to be found.  Miraculously however, when June rolled in, so did the snook.  It is apparent that there are fewer fish this year, but the number of fish currently available makes catching one a distinct possibility on any trip.  Large whitebaits, fished on moving tides, seem to be the best approach.  Once you have located fish, be patient, as they may watch your presentation go by fifteen times and then decide it's time to bite. Snook have very defined feeding periods and typically don't bite for much of the day, but when they do the action can be fast and furious.  The fish pictured was one of eight fish hooked in the span of about a half hour.
