Now's the time to get out there and pull on some bruiser snook! Been catching them in the river all the way to the beach. If you can find clear water on the beach sight fishing these big breeders is a blast (really gets the adrenaline pumping watching one eat). We have been getting lucky and bugging some really nice size pilchards from the beach lately. These are candy to these big fish and they will rarely pass them up. In the river, fishing big mullet along seawalls is a pretty consistent bite as well. Watching a snook slurp down a 12 inch mullet off of a seawall is one of my favorite sights to see! The night bite around the bridges with flair hawks and big swimbaits won't disappoint either. Fishing for these breeder snook is more quality over quantity, so even though you only might catch one a day, it's usually a good one! Here's some pictures of a few nice fish from the past week or so. Always support the fish and make sure they swim off strong, so they can go make more little snook!

Thank you, You might see a few in an article or two of mine throughout future issues of Florida Sportsman. There's one shot in the August issue of a previous snook I posted on here. It's in a pliers seminar I put together.

Pretty much throughout the treasure coast. Mainly in the St. Lucie river and South Indian River Lagoon. Beaches from Hobe sound to Jensen Beach as well.
Another tip for anglers targeting snook out of season is to tighten the drag and get the fish in fast so it's less stress for them. Also, prevents sharks from getting a shot at them as I learned last night as a 6-7 foot bull shark bit the back half of the overslot snook I was fishing and then came back for the rest as I was pulling the remains towards the seawall. Sad to see a nice breeder snook killed like that. Guess the sharks and dolphins don't know that snook are out of season.
