Sharks, Snook & Snapper

Over the last several weeks there have been a good amount of bull sharks in the back bay. Use the current that flows from the flats to the edges of drop offs and channels to carry a blood scented chum line right to the noses of big bull sharks. You'll have to give them some time and they'll come in. In addition to chum, macrole and bonita also make great bait.
Snook have been hitting hard as they start into post spawn and will be on the move. Right now there are still plenty to catch. Live pinfish and white bait seem to work best; and can be found along the beaches, passes, and inlets.
There have also been good numbers of mangrove spapper in our area; which always make for a tasty meal. We have had some good size snapper up to 17 inches located in only 4 ft. of water. Live chumming will turn them on. Be ready to downsize your hook and leader as they can be a picky opponent.
