The snook bite is good, not great, but good.  Getting 3-4 most mornings averaging 6-10lbs with an occasional 20 pounder.

Best time is 45 minutes before dawn just before the bait shows up.

sounds great.

I love snook fishing.  Great fighters, great eating

But alas the season on the treasure coast is closed.

be a couple of months before I can go out for em again.

ahhhh. good old treasure coast, that where i grew up in (jensen beach)... catching tons of snook, it was great.

and sirsnook, we may differ on this, but i would consider 3-4 snook a morning to be a great day!!!!

glad your having some good catching, eh..... its been quite some time since i battled a snook :-/

Sirsnook, I think you might have covered it before on another post but are you using live bait or lures? I want to get out a catch a snook next week AM. I have only fished for snook once. I was in the New river in Ft Laudedale. I caught a est 30lb'er on a large (12") crank bait trolled behind my boat against the incoming tide. Right under the I-95 bridge! The crankbait was white/red floating rapala. We were just goofing around and I got lucky.  

Can you help me out with times, location, and bait/lures? Thanks.

I mainly fish the Boynton inlet.  The fish are really starting to apeear almost every day now.  I never go but I here the afternoon bite is way better.

I go early to catch the outgoing tide and fish right in the inlet itself along the sea wall.  I use xrap, terror eyes, soft plastics on a jig head & feathers, all you need.  I tried live bait for the first time a couple of weeks off the end of the pier, I caught 2, one around 20#.

If the tide is incoming I go to the beach and toss lures or spoons, last hour of incoming on the beach is best.

I've caught them on rattletraps too, they will hit any bass lure, not important what they will hit only if they are hitting at all, very finicky fish.

Went out Mon morn and caught 2 off sea wall at  Lantana rd, then went on the Lady K for some drift fishing. I got 2 kings 3 bonita around 15# and couple of good size blue runners, a few cobia were caught on the boat too( not by me).

I started off using a convential reel, then switched to a spinner, the bonita fried my reel, I'm in the market for a new one.

Snook, I'm takin' Pops out on the Lady K on Saturday morning for Father's Day! Think it'll be good fishin'? I don't know much about saltwater. Last time I went on that boat, my buddy caught a nice Kingfish. Mmmmmmm tasty!!

Fish have been hitting so should have decent luck, Saturdays can be crowded, but usually not as bad as the sea mist

Have you ever tried a Carolina rig for snook.If not try it, position yourself at the opposite side of the tide,{ incoming west side, go to east end} and toss your rig in.Full blowing incoming tide,your rig will lift, tipped with a senco/slugo or a fin-s lure, you ll see the shadow behind your rig, and then drop 2/5 seconds then reel medium to fast retrieve.You ll get SLAMED.I at times out perform those with live bait, countless times,my personal best was52 inches, well over 17yrs ago.And I'm sure it still works today.5 friends and myself on a drawbridge swimming a Carolina rig caught 25 for the night between us, biggest 23lbs.Now I fish for them in the fresh water impoundments / and lakes.Strictly bass only.Bango lures always been great,Bomber,and badgley even a ratle trap.Slow roll a spinner bait once.Inline spinner bait.
