The Snook on the beach are there in good numbers. I scouted a spot I hadnt fished in a long time and saw probably a hundred this morning, but it was a little tough feeding them. I wound up with 4 including a pretty nice one. Caught them all on a 5 weight flyrod which made it a blast. There was a small swell but the water was clear, so remember to be as stealthy as possible, use a small, natural looking fly (or lure), and scale down to a short piece of fluorocarbon leader. The fish can become very active early and late or immediately after rain (or especially a thunderstorm), so try to focus on fishing these times.

Bio: Growing up and living most of my life in California's San Francisco Bay Area, I took to fishing at a young age. I started off fishing at local piers and lakes around age 10, eventually branching out into other venues and getting more and more serious about the sport as time went on. I took up flyfishing while in middle school, thus beginning a new passion. Moving to Florida in 2002 opened up a whole new world of angling to me, which I strived to learn and understand as quickly as possible. I have a lot of experience in a vast array of fishing techniques; from dropshotting for Bass in 40 feet of water, to flyfishing mountain streams, to Snook on the fly....all of which helps me to be a stronger, more accomplished angler no matter what species I am after. I pride myself in being very patient and creative on the water, and have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge and insight with others!
