5-3 slot snook

[Linesider41]

I tried to duplicate pulling out a slot snook from the same light as last week.
But as you all know, the tide was opposite this week.
The fish were there.
But the way the tide was running, the spot was impossible to fish.
So I tried a few new things and places to no avail.
Went back to a bridge I tried to fish last week but it was occupied by another boat.
This week it was all mine. Within 10 minutes I had a 31.5", 33" and lost a bigger one.
I decided to call it a night.
On the way back, the boys on the other bridge were slaying them.
I saw them get a 35" and they had several others before that.
So get out there and get some before its too late.

The keeper.

Yes that is a favorite. Had that last week.
I am going to try this one again.
A little more prep but worth it!
