Great Snook. I am recovering from hip replacement surgery and missing fishing a lot. I was there by boat on the inland side of the bridge catching snook and snapper about a month ago. Hopefully in another month I will get back out there.
I've caught 5 over 36, all on hand sized live pinfish. All at e.g. Simmons park in Ruskin. Big baits catch big snook. Congrats on your fish of a lifetime.
Excellent tip . Definitely going to try the mullet. Thanks for video. FYI saw a 30-36 tarpon in the retaining pond next too the railroad tracks by the linear bike. path today 6:30 am .Its packed with water lillies . Not the large canal .
I caught a giant snook on a big piece of Bonita on wire a few years ago shark fishing in red fish pass those fish can be line shy as can be or suicidal
Hope those guys didn't keep that snook...anyway I got all my fish on a fake shrimp today. They werent taking ANY cut bait...crab, ladyfish, shrimp, or greenbacks...just my lure. Git a couple nice pompano and a nice seatrout...lost two big ones also but nothing on cut bait....????
