Snook Kingdom

This primer on King Snook and his watery realm will teach you: the kinds of habitat snook prefer, tried and true tackle, lures, bait and techniques, best times of day and tides for Snooking, and the best places in Florida to find hungry snook. Although habitat loss and overfishing have put pressure on the Snook fishery, it's recovering nicely. The Linesiders are out there, prowling the estuaries on both coasts of Florida, just waiting for persistent, thrill-seeking anglers - like you. Snook are the funnest fish that swim! Fun to watch under the pier lights, as they smash minnows unlucky enough to pass by! Fun to hook and lose as they leap from the water shaking their heads as if they had watched Bigmouth Bass training videos. Fun to land, to put in the net, and then gently to release to be caught another day. And...fun to eat - fresh, fried Snook with hot buttered grits and coleslaw is gourmet Cracker fare!
