A few 20-pounders are taken. This is one time that a snook fancier is almost guaranteed his fill of sport. May. September and October are the best months for taking really big snook, but now the action moves to the beach. Drinking water is filtered and pure. Food is home-cooked and you'll have all you can eat at every meal, good American food with enough local dishes to keep things interesting.
Most meals are buffet style.
Homegrown pineapple, breadfruit, bananas, papaya, mango, oranges, guanabana, coconut and other fruits are served in season. Surf casting is most productive because the 30 pound plus heavyweights are on a spawning run. Tarpon begin their move inside the rivers in January and build up to a peak during the spring months. It's not unusual for an angler to jump 30 tarpon in half a day when the fish gather in the deeper areas. The same fantastic action is often found with snook during their spawning run.
