What a great year for snookin! High gas prices and new snook regulations I believe have been the contributing factors. Clients have been catching many nice snook around docks after dark over the last few weeks. Recent afternoon rain storms have been pushing charters into the night, but that's ok by me. With extreme heat during the day, I believe the fish have been feeding more after dark for the most part. Snook are nocturnal and seem to just be more active at night. Clients are still catcing a mixed bag of fish along with the snook. Most nights are bringing trout at the very end outgoing tide as well as ladyfish, redfish and mangrove snapper. Most snook are ranging from 25 to 36 inches and are putting up great fights. Shrimp, shiners and pinfish seem to be doing the trick. With extreme water clarity most fish are being caught on 25lb flourocarbon leader, so we can get them to bite. Twenty five pound leader has also caused us to loose a few monsters also, but that's ok! If your interested in some night snookin' give us a call.
