Today
was the father & son team of Brian and Jason on board for some Snook
fishing. The day started with the most important part of a successful day of
Snook fishing and that is catching bait. Fortunately the Sardines were in
pretty good and with Brian and Jason’s help the wells were loaded fairly
quickly with good frisky baits. We first tried a spot for King Fish but this
only produced a small shark for Brian. We headed to the inlet to look for
Snook. Jason spotted some rolling Tarpon nearby. About a 50 lb Tarpon ate a
bait however was only on for one jump before freeing itself. The Snook on the
other hand were less than cooperative. Just yesterday the Snook bite was
happening just as it is supposed to be this time of year. For some reason today
the big fish decided to be a no show. The other Guides we saw were all having
the same kind of day on the Snook, no easy fishing, Brian and Jason really
earned the fish they caught. That’s how fishing goes some times, however Brian
and Jason stayed positive and enthusiastic and ended up with 15 Snook, pretty
decent considering it looked like all the Snook left town for the day, perhaps
there was a Snookfish union boycott I wasn’t aware of?
