Lots of Snook on the keeper slot size to be caught. The Snook are running along the mangro lines heading back into the estruaries along the Gulf Coast. Been free lining the larger white baits 4 to 6 inches, using a 1.0 circle hook and 30 lb. leader is a must as the waters have been crystal clear.
Redfish have been plentiful as you can tell by everyones reports. We have been catching our share of Redfish in the slot limits and a few in the over size ranking. It is not uncommon to catch 20 to 30 redfish on a days trip. Been fishing them with live shrimp and live smaller white baits(sardines) live pinfish and also cut bait (pinfish). Sometimes using a small split shot to help hold the bait to the bottom more and also to help get better casting distance from the boat. The redfish are in the shallows so it is very important to stay as quiet as possible not to knock things around in the boat and to keep a low profile so not to let them see you. The redfish are very spooky this time of year and if they get spooked it will end a great day of fishing. Here are some happy costomers with a few of the nice fish they caught that day.
