Caught this big snook a week ago in the middle of the mullet run. It was by far the largest snook I have had the pleasure to fight. Released to fight another day. I was fishing with Captain Jeff Maggio of Lunkerdog Charters.

    What a giant! Always wanted to catch a snook but never have had a chance to chase them.

    Really nice snook.  Next year the slot goes up 28-34".

    One of the hardest times to catch a snook is during the mullet run, they are very occupied gorging on live bait to hit artificial.  IMO the best month to catch snook is August before the season opens.  In 10 years of snook fishing nearly 7 days a week year round I've used live bait maybe no more than about 10-12 times.  I like catching snook in the surf with spinning or fly rod.
