Joe was heading into town today and we decided to spend a couple hours up river chasing snook and ladyfish. Bob a friend from California joined us as well. We shoved off off at 10:15 and headed upriver to toss lures at the docks. Flat raps, Mirrodines, Rapala f9 along with a couple soft plastics did the trick on the snook. in couple hours we caught and released 30 to 35 snook, They were were around 16" to 24" . Along with the snook we caught several mangrove snapper. When that bite cooled off we took a drift across a section of river that always produces ladyfish. They were home and eager to bite. Afew of those and we headed home with some decent action for the day. The Manatee was the fist one Bob has seen so I took a couple shots for him.
Love seein all those Snooklingz up river! Hopefully the will all live to be Big Female Sowz to make more baby snukelingz! Be gentle w/ those babies guys, I know they are fun to catch but they may not fair well being caught on treple hooks too many timez? Just a thought?

I agree Pete...Fishing up river is a last resort thing for me anyway. We always handle them with care and release most while still in the water. I know there are quite a few big snook up there but where they are there is too many manatees to toss a lure.
