Snook seemed to be the theme this week. Fish the moving water along mangrove islands; live chumming white bait. Free lining them with a 3/0 circle hook or cork seems to do the trick. No shortage of mangrove snappers mixed in as well. To get these toothy critters, scale down your leader to 15 or 20 pound test and a 1/0 hook. They are great table fare. Red fish were hanging out under the mangroves on the outside islands on the outgoing tide. Jig head with cut bait, and 2/0 circle hook with white bait and a split shot worked well. Still plenty of bait on the beaches and right along the passes. Expect the bite to slow down as the front approaches. Be patient while fishing a spot and give it a little extra time before you move on, especially as the water temperature cools down. See below for picts of the week.
