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.
